Initializing the FPGA Editor

The fpga_editor.ini initialization file is installed in $XILINX/data when the FPGA Editor is installed on your system. This file is a text file containing a series of commands that are performed when the FPGA Editor is invoked. You can edit this file to include any of the commands described in the “Command Line Syntax” chapter.

When you invoke the FPGA Editor, it automatically finds the correct fpga_editor.ini file. The FPGA Editor looks for this file in the following order.

• Current working directory
  
  
• Your home directory
  
  
• $XILINX/data (a generic fpga_editor.ini file)
  
  

If you want to customize the fpga_editor.ini file to suit your needs, you can create a fpga_editor_user.ini file in your home directory. When the FPGA Editor is invoked, it reads the fpga_editor.ini file before the fpga_editor_user.ini file. You can also copy the fpga_editor.ini file to your working directory and edit it as well for your own use.
