I/O Mapping File (.xml)

The I/O mapping file aims to show

  • What nets have been mapped to each I/O

  • What is the directionality of each mapped I/O

An example of design constraints is shown as follows.

<io_mapping>
    <io name="gfpga_pad_GPIO_PAD[6:6]" net="a" dir="input"/>
    <io name="gfpga_pad_GPIO_PAD[1:1]" net="b" dir="input"/>
    <io name="gfpga_pad_GPIO_PAD[9:9]" net="out_c" dir="output"/>
</io_mapping>
name="<string>"

The pin name of the FPGA fabric which has been mapped, which should be a valid pin defined in OpenFPGA architecture description.

Note

You should be find the exact pin in the top-level module of FPGA fabric if you output the Verilog netlists.

net="<string>"

The net name which is actually mapped to a pin, which should be consistent with net definition in your .blif file.

dir="<string>"

The direction of an I/O, which can be either input or output.
