MAX+PLUS II/Viewlogic Powerview Project File StructureIn the Figure 1. Sample MAX+PLUS II Project Organization
The MAX+PLUS II software stores the connectivity data on the links between design files in a hierarchical project in a Hierarchy Interconnect File (.hif), but refers to the entire project only by its project name. The MAX+PLUS II Compiler uses the HIF to build a single, fully flattened project database that integrates all the design files in a project hierarchy. Unlike Powerview, the MAX+PLUS II software does not automatically create a project directory when you create a project. A single directory can contain several MAX+PLUS II design files, and you can specify any one of the designs in the directory as a project in the MAX+PLUS II software. Viewlogic Powerview Local Work Area StructureWhen you create a project with the Powerview Cockpit's Create command (Project menu), the project directory is created. You should generate design files and functional simulation files under this directory. A max2 subdirectory is automatically created under your current project directory when you generate an EDIF file from your schematic or VHDL file. The <project name>.edf file is stored in the max2 subdirectory. All
ViewDraw Project File StructureEach ViewDraw project directory contains three subdirectories: wir, sch, and sym. See Table 1. Table 1. ViewDraw Subdirectories
Each file type uses the filename extension .1. Different file types are distinguished only by their directory: /lib/wir/<project name>.1 is a wirelist file; /lib/sch/<project name>.1 is the corresponding schematic file; and /lib/sym/<project name>.1 is the corresponding symbol. VHDL Project File StructureEach VHDL project directory contains three subdirectories. See Table 2. Table 2. VHDL Subdirectories
