13.19.3.2 Adding/Renaming Ports

To add ports:

1. From the SmartDesign menu, choose Logic > Add port. The Add Port dialog box appears (as shown below).

   

2. Specify the name of the port you wish to add. You can specify a bus port by indicating the bus width directly into the name using brackets [ ], such as mybus[3:0].
3. Select the direction of the port.

To remove a port from the top level, select the port in the Grid, right-click and choose Delete Top Level Port.

To rename a top-level port, right-click the top-level non-pad port and choose Modify Top Level Port. You can rename the port, change the bus width (if the port is a bus), and change the port direction.

To rename an external pad:

1. Right-click a pad in the top-level port and select Rename External Pad. The Rename External Pad dialog box appears, as shown in the figure below.

   

2. Enter the new name for the external pad and click OK.
