Create external port for the corresponding pin. If a cell is specified, create external ports for all unconnected pins.
Syntax
make_bd_pins_external [‑quiet] [‑verbose] <objects>...Returns
Pass if successful in creating at least one port

Description
Create an external port in the current block design and connect that to the selected block pin. If a bd_cell is specified as the argument, all unconnected block pins of that cell will be made external. The created external port will have the same properties as the selected block pin.
The selected block pin, if unconnected, will be connected to a new port at the topmost level of the block design.
This command returns TCL_OK if it is successful, or TCL_ERROR if it fails, unless -quiet is specified.
Arguments
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config command.<objects> - (Required) Specify either a list of block pin objects returned by get_bd_pins, or block design cell objects returned by get_bd_cells.
Examples
axi_gpio_0 and connect it to an external port:
make_bd_pins_external [get_bd_pins axi_gpio_0/s_axi_aclk] axi_gpio_0 and individually connect them to external ports:
make_bd_pins_external [get_bd_cells axi_gpio_0]
