This appendix gives a listing of the files used by the FPGA Editor.
| Name | Type | Produced By | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fpga_editor.ini | ASCII | Xilinx software | Script that determines what FPGA Editor commands are performed when FPGA Editor starts up. |
| fpga_editor_user.ini | ASCII | Xilinx software | A supplement to the fpga_editor.ini file used for modifying or adding to the fpga_editor.ini file. |
| .log | ASCII | FPGA Editor | FPGA Editor command log file. This file keeps a record of all FPGA Editor commands executed and output generated. |
| .ncd | Data | Mappers, Translators, PAR, FPGA Editor | A flat physical design database correlated to the physical side of the .ngd in order to provide coupling back to your original design. |
| .nmc | Binary | FPGA Editor | Xilinx physical macro library file. Contains a physical macro definition that can be instantiated into an FPGA Editor design. |
| .out | ASCII | FPGA Editor | The system keeps track of all commands performed on your design in the temporary command log file, design_name_fpga_editor.out. This file is erased when you end an editing session. If a session is unexpectedly terminated, the design_name_fpga_editor.out file remains in your current design directory, and the next time you start the FPGA Editor, the design_name_fpga_editor.out file is renamed design_name_fpga_editor.rcv. |
| .pcf | ASCII | Mapper, Translator, FPGA Editor | A file containing constraints specified during design entry (i.e., schematics) and constraints added by the user. |
| .rcv | ASCII | FPGA Editor | FPGA Editor recovery file. |
| .scr | ASCII | FPGA Editor | Command script file. |
On a UNIX workstation, you may also customize the appearance of the FPGA Editor by modifying the X window system configuration file,.Xdefaults. In addition, you may be able to customize your window manager to simplify access to the FPGA Editor and the graphic shells. This is done by modifying the window manager-specific resource files.
