Description

A block design net, or a bd_net object, connects the pins on an IP integrator block design cell to other pins, or to external ports. The bd_net object connects through multiple levels of the design hierarchy, connecting block design cells. Every net has a name which identifies it in the design. All block design cells, pins, and ports connected to these nets are electrically connected.
