The New FPGA I/O dialog box appears when you create new FPGA I/O items in the Project Explorer window. You also can right-click an FPGA I/O Node and select Add New FPGA I/O from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to specify the I/O resources you want to use in the Project Explorer window and to edit the names of the I/O items you select.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• Available Resources—Displays the I/O resources available for the FPGA target for which you create the FPGA I/O items. The FPGA target you right-click in the Project Explorer window determines the I/O resources that appear in the Available Resources tree.
• Add—Adds the I/O resources you select in the Available Resources tree to the list of FPGA I/O items in the New FPGA I/O table.
• Remove—Removes the FPGA I/O items you select in the New FPGA I/O table from the table. The FPGA I/O item returns to the Available Resources tree.
• New FPGA I/O—Displays the I/O resources you add to the table from the Available Resources tree. Each FPGA I/O item that appears in this table appears in the Project Explorer window when you click the OK button. Contains the following options:
  • Name—Displays the name of the FPGA I/O item that appears in the Project Explorer window. You can change the name of the FPGA I/O item by typing in the Name column in the New FPGA I/O table, by typing in the Name string control in the FPGA I/O Properties dialog box, or by right-clicking the FPGA I/O item in the Project Explorer window and selecting Rename from the shortcut menu.
  • Resource—Displays the I/O resource on the FPGA target that you selected from the Available Resources tree in the New FPGA I/O table. The Resource corresponds to an I/O resource on the FPGA target. You can change the resource by right-clicking the FPGA item in the Project Explorer window and selecting Select Resource from the shortcut menu.
• Place new I/O in folders—Organizes the FPGA I/O items in folders according to FPGA I/O type in the Project Explorer window.

Tip  You can select multiple resources by pressing the <Ctrl> key and clicking additional resources. You also can select an entire group of I/O resources by clicking the top-level I/O type or folder, if available.
