If I don't use the HPS memory controller in my Cyclone V SoC device, can I use it as an FPGA user I/O pin?

SoC FPGAs

Tools: Quartus® II
Device: Cyclone® V
Category: SoCs


If your Cyclone V SoC device does not use the Hard Processor System (HPS) memory controller, it cannot be used as an FPGA user I/O pin.
It is defined as a dedicated pin in the pinout file.

For details, refer to the pinout file of the device to be used from the URL below.
