8.2.3 Migration Libraries

In addition to the Actel libraries, Actel provides a set of migration libraries. These libraries contain cores supported in earlier versions of the Designer software and cores needed to retarget designs from a different Actel family. If you are upgrading from a previous version of Designer and you have existing Actel designs, you must use the migration libraries. Actel does not recommend using the migration libraries on new designs.

The eProduct Designer software uses a libs.lst file to access the Actel libraries. When you install the Designer Series software, a migrate.lst file is automatically installed in the c:\actel\lib\wv directory. You must use this migrate.lst file as your libs.lst file to properly access the migration libraries.

To access the migration libraries, perform these steps:

1. (Optional) Create a backup copy of the libs.lst in the c:\ePD\2.0\standard directory.
2. Delete the libs.lst file in the c:\ePD\2.0\standard directory.
3. Copy the migrate.lst file in the c:\actel\lib\wv directory to the c:\ePD2.0\standard directory.
4. Rename the migrate.lst file as the “libs.lst” file in the c:\ePD\2.0\standard directory.
