8.6.1 Naming Conventions

Top-level blocks in ViewDraw and FPGA Express must have a design name that follows the DOS file-naming convention (e.g., 8.3 naming convention). The Actel back annotation program can only accept file names that follow this convention.

Use only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters for schematic net and instance names. Do not use asterisks, forward and backward slashes, spaces, or periods.
