Hi,

For some peripherals (eg. DDR memory) there are inverted pins (RAS_N, CAS_N, etc. in DDR3) that are configured as PinsN. The issue with PinsN is that it gets an inverter inserted between the TRELLIS_IO instance (on ECP5 platform) and the .o exposed to the user which prevents the use of DDR primitives (ERROR: ODDRX2F 'ddrphy.U$$19' Q output must be connected only to a top level output).

Assuming this issue isn't vendor-specific, should we declare those resources with the "*_n" naming style and expect the user to do the inversion themselves? Or should we keep it as-is and request the resource as raw IO?

Let's discuss this on IRC next time we're both online, that would be more productive I think.
