Okay, I think my confusion is that this

.lef

file is from the perspective of the user project, not from the perspective of the project wrapper/management core. That is, an "input" means something that is driven by the management core, and read by the user project, and an output means the opposite. That is,

la_oenb[0]

is an "input" and thus driven by the management core, and

la_data_in[0]

is also driven by the management core, while

la_data_out[0]

is to be driven by the user project and read by the management core. I had inputs/outputs flipped before, because I was thinking of them as being inputs/outputs of the management core, not inputs/outputs of the user project. Can anybody confirm that my new understanding is correct?
