Pin Table File (.csv)

Note

This file is typically a spreadsheet provided by FPGA vendors. Please contact your vendor for the exact file.

Note

OpenFPGA will not include or guarantee the correctness of the file!!!

The pin table file is the file which describes the pin mapping between a chip and an FPGA inside the chip.

An example of the file is shown as follows.

An pin table may serve in various purposes. However, for OpenFPGA, the following attributes are required

orientation

Specify on which side the pin locates

port_name

Specify the port name of the FPGA fabric

mapped_pin

Specify the pin name of the FPGA chip

Warning

Currently, the direction of the port is inferred by the port_name. A postfix of A2F indicates an input port, while a postfix of F2A indicates an output port.
