I have an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, and I use the Quartus II software as the compiler.

In the "Pin Planner""PinPlanner" it is possible to specify groups of pins (e.g. data buses). For each group, an I/O bank and an I/O standard (e.g. LVDS) can be specified. Then, the fitter (place and route) provides specific "Fitter Locations", specifying a precise pin for each individual wire.

Is there a way to specify the precise pin locations before the fitter attempts to fit the pins within each bank for me? Can this be done in the Pin Plannerlanner?
