I guess it is enough...

Do I have to connect pins to a GPIO block in order to set direction? Or when I create the port, is that enough to set direction? On the input side I'd like to use sheild pins 12,13 as inputs, just connected to my verilog module, and 8-11 on the right side as status and test signal generation pins... The pins used for buttons and LEDs in the sample project go through a GPIO AXI block, and the program sets their direction, can't I just create the ports with the correct directions and connect directly? I do have the code in the constraints file referencing the right ports... (I'm pretty sure I do anyway)
