+  .. option:: --pin_table_direction_convention <string>
+
+    Specify the naming convention for ports in pin table files from which pin direction can be inferred. Can be [``explicit``|``quicklogic``]. When ``explicit`` is selected, pin direction is inferred based on the explicit definition in a column of pin table file, e.g., GPIO direction (see details in :ref:`file_format_pin_table_file`). When ``quicklogic`` is selected, pin direction is inferred by port name: a port whose postfix is ``_A2F`` is an input, while a port whose postfix is ``_A2F`` is an output. By default, it is ``explicit``.
