Setting Up the MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys Working Environment
To use the MAX+PLUS® II software with Synopsys software, you must first install the MAX+PLUS II software, then establish an environment that facilitates entering and processing designs by modifying your Synopsys configuration files. The MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys interface is installed automatically when you install the MAX+PLUS II software on your workstation. Go to MAX+PLUS II Installation in the MAX+PLUS II Getting Started manual for more information on installation and details on the directories that are created during MAX+PLUS II installation. Go to MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys Interface File Organization for information about the MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys directories that are created during MAX+PLUS II installation.

The information presented here assumes that you are using C shell and that your MAX+PLUS II system directory is /usr/maxplus2. If not, you must use the appropriate syntax and procedures to set environment variables for your shell. |
To set up your working environment for the MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys interface, follow these steps:
- Ensure that you have correctly installed the MAX+PLUS II and Synopsys software versions described in the MAX+PLUS II/Synopsys Software Requirements.
- Add technology, synthetic, and link library settings to your .synopsys_dc.setup configuration file, as described in Setting Up Design Compiler & FPGA Compiler Configuration Files.
- Add simulation library settings to your .synopsys_vss.setup file, and analyze the libraries, as described in Setting Up VSS Configuration Files.
- Add the /usr/maxplus2/bin directory to the
PATH environment variable in your .cshrc file in order to run the MAX+PLUS II software.
(Optional) Change the path in the first line of the perl script files, which are located in the $ALT_HOME/synopsys/bin directory to specify the correct path of your local perl executable file.
