13.23.16 Post-Synthesis Files
Post-synthesis files include:
- <top>.edn - EDIF netlist file; used for post-synthesis simulation in the Project Manager; also used by Designer to generate back-annotated files and complete layout
- <top>.adb - Designer project file, automatically generated by the Project Manager.
- <top>.vhd - Simulation file, automatically generated by the Project Manager.
To generate your EDIF netlist, use your Synthesis tool. You can also import your EDIF netlist named <top>.edn.
Icons
(Green check) - Files are
current; you can use the file for simulation or place-and-route.
(Yellow exclamation) - Files
are out-of-date;something has changed since you created your post-synthesis file
(you may have modified the source, family, default synthesis tool, package,
etc.) Re-run synthesis to update the file. You may use the out-of-date file
for simulation or place-and-route if you wish.
