Concept & RapidSIM Local Work Area Directory Structure

When the redifnet utility imports an EDIF netlist file for the RapidSIM software, it creates a SCALD directory for your project. However, creating this directory may overwrite the directory that was created for the original Concept schematic. To prevent overwriting this directory, you should create a file structure that helps you manage your design files.

Altera recommends that you create the following three directories for your design files.

Directory: Description:
 
./source Create Concept schematics and generate EDIF netlist files with the wedifnet utility in the source directory.
./max2 Copy the EDIF Input File (.edf) from the source directory to this directory to compile the file with the MAX+PLUS® II software.
./dest Copy the EDIF Output File (.edo) from the max2 directory to this directory to run the redifnet and RapidSIM software.

Copies of the appropriate directives files for Cadence tools must be present in both the source and dest directories. Figure 1 shows Altera's recommended file structure.
