How can pins be assigned for GAL devices?

Pin assignments must be specified in the top-level source file.

If using -


  • Schematic - Use components from the 'iopads' schematic library and edit the symbol attribute 'PinNumber' to assign the pin.
  • ABEL - Specify a pin number when declaring the pin
  • VHDL or Verilog - Use the attribute 'LOC'
