Introduction

This chapter contains the following sections.

• “What is LogiBLOX?” is a general introduction to LogiBLOX.
  
  
• “Why Use LogiBLOX?” lists specific features by which LogiBLOX enhances design entry and module processing.
  
  
• “Program Inputs and Outputs” describes how LogiBLOX receives input in the form of pins and attributes that you specify in the module, and the different kinds of output files that LogiBLOX can create.
