7.4.9 Generating an EDIF Netlist

This section describes the procedures for generating an EDIF netlist for your design. Use the EDIF netlist for place-and-route in Designer.

To generate an EDIF netlist from a schematic-based design, select the Actel EDIF command from the Tools menu of ViewDraw. If you have not added the Actel EDIF command to the tools menu in ViewDraw, go to Actel EDIF Command for the procedure.

To generate an EDIF netlist from a synthesis-based design, FPGA Express creates an EDIF file that you can import directly into Designer. No special procedure is required.
