it as the external-facing pin of an I/O pad, and prevents ``iopadmap``
from inserting another pad cell on it.
-- The port attribute ``abc_scc_break`` indicates a module input port that will
- be treated as a primary output during `abc9` techmapping. Doing so eliminates
- the possibility of a strongly-connected component (i.e. a combinatorial loop)
- existing. Typically, this is specified for sequential inputs on otherwise
- combinatorial boxes -- for example, applying ``abc_scc_break`` onto the `D`
- port of a LUTRAM cell prevents `abc9` from interpreting any `Q` -> `D` paths
- as a combinatorial loop.

+ - The module attribute ``abc_box_id`` specifies a positive integer linking a
+ blackbox or whitebox definition to a corresponding entry in a `abc9`
+ box-file.
+
+ - The port attribute ``abc_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and
+ carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for
+ `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute
+ onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit.
+
++- The port attribute ``abc_arrival`` specifies an integer (for output ports
++ only) to be used as the arrival time of this sequential port. It can be used,
++ for example, to specify the clk-to-Q delay of a flip-flop for consideration
++ during techmapping.

- In addition to the ``(* ... *)`` attribute syntax, Yosys supports
the non-standard ``{* ... *}`` attribute syntax to set default attributes
for everything that comes after the ``{* ... *}`` statement. (Reset
