Hi,

Can ports be declared as ground?

I know LRM doesnt specifically say anything on this issue but just want to get
an understanding on this.

module blackbox (a,b);
  electrical a;
  ground a;
endmodule

It is not explicit to the user of this IP that one of the ports inside the
module is being grounded. Is this desired, or is there a possibility that it
can be useful? The user of that library can always ground that port by using a
internal net ground connected to the port while instantiating that module.

cheers,
Sri
