Use the Constant IP to tie signals up or down, and specify a constant value. The Constant IP shows the constant value being driven by the block on the output pin. As an example, the following constant IP shows a default value on the output pin dout[0:0] being driven to 1.

To change the value double-click the IP. This brings the configuration dialog box as shown.

In this configuration dialog box, the width of the value to be driven is set to 5 (binary bits) and a value of decimal 30 is being driven. After the user commits to the changes, the Constant IP shows the new values being driven on the output pin dout[4 downto 0].
