17.1.2.3 Interpreting Manifest Files

When you open a component manifest file, you see paths to files in your Libero project and pointers on where in the design flow to use them. You might see the following types of files in a manifest file:
  • HDL source files for all Synthesis and Simulation tools
  • Stimulus files for all Simulation tools
  • Constraint files
Following is the Component Manifest of a PolarFire core component.
HDL source files for all Synthesis and Simulation tools:
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/Actel/SgCore/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES/3.0.100/rtl/vlog/core/CoreSysServices_PF_APBS.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/Actel/SgCore/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES/3.0.100/rtl/vlog/core/CoreSysServices_PF_Ctrl.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/Actel/SgCore/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES/3.0.100/rtl/vlog/core/CoreSysServices_PF_ReqArbiter.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/Actel/SgCore/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES/3.0.100/rtl/vlog/core/CoreSysServices_PF_MBXIF.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/Actel/SgCore/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES/3.0.100/rtl/vlog/core/CoreSysServices_PF_SSIIF.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/work/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES_C0/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES_C0_0/rtl/vlog/core/PF_System_Services.v
    D:/Designs/manifestex/component/work/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES_C0/PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES_C0.v

Each type of file is necessary downstream in your design flow. The following sections describe integration of the files from the manifest into your design flow.
