File Names and Locations

Following are some notes about file names and notations in NGDBuild.

• An intermediate file has the same root name as the design that produced it. An intermediate file is generated when more than one netlist reader is needed to translate a netlist to a NGO file.
  
  
• Netlist root file names in the search path must be unique. For example, if you have the design state.edn, you cannot have another design named state.xnf in any of the directories specified in the search path.
  
  
• NGDBuild and the Netlister Launcher support quoted file names. Quoted file names may have special characters (for example, a space) that are not normally allowed.
  
  
• If the output directory specified in the call to NGDBuild is not writable, an error is displayed and NGDBuild fails.
