DVT flags an error on any connection to a non-existing port or parameter within a module instance.

Adding a Missing Port

To add the missing port to the module declaration, follow these steps:

Place the editor cursor on the error line, press Ctrl+1, select Add Port from the list of Quick Fix Proposals and press Enter.

The direction, data type, and width of the newly created port can be changed inline. Press the Tab key to move between the added boxes and Enter when done.

Using the Refactor Add Port Wizard

When the module is instantiated multiple times throughout the design, the Refactor Add Port Wizard is opened. Here you can customize the port direction, data type, and width. Click Preview to see what changes are about to be performed. All the instances of the selected module are updated with an empty connection, along with a Fix Me comment, which shows up in the Tasks view.

Adding a Missing Parameter

In a similar way, you can add a missing parameter to the module. Select Add Parameter from the list of Quick Fix Proposals and press Enter.
