Setting Up the MAX+PLUS II/Synplicity Working Environment

To use MAX+PLUS® II software with Synplicity software, you must first install the MAX+PLUS II software, then establish an environment that facilitates entering and processing designs. The MAX+PLUS II/Synplicity interface is installed automatically when you install the MAX+PLUS II software on your computer. Ensure that you have correctly installed the MAX+PLUS II and Synplicity software versions described in the MAX+PLUS II/Synplicity Software Requirements.

Synplicity software features Direct Synthesis Technology that performs technology mapping directly to Altera® device logic cells by inserting architecture-specific primitives to implement features such as logic cells, parallel expanders, carry chains, and cascade chains.
