Foundation: How long can Net Names and Pin Names be?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: How long can net names and pin names be?



Solution 1:

Net names can be up to 22 characters long, and pin names can
be up to 14 characters long. For buses, this includes the
brackets and indices (so BUS[8:0] would be an 8-character
name).

Legal Xilinx net/pin name characters are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '_',
and '-'. Xilinx software is not case-sensitive, so 'Net1'
and 'net1' are interpreted as the same net.
