You can use the report_drivers Tcl command to determine what signal is driving a value on an HDL object. The syntax is as follows:

report_drivers <hdl_object>

The command prints drivers (HDL statements doing the assignment) to the Tcl Console. It also shows the current driving values on the right side of the assignment for a wire or signal-type HDL object.

You can also call the report_drivers command from the Object or Wave window context menu or text editor. To open the context menu (shown in the following figure), right-click any signal and click Report Drivers. The result appears in the Tcl console.
