MAX+PLUS II Directory Structure (Synplicity Environment)

In the MAX+PLUS® II software, a project name is the name of a top-level design file, without the filename extension. This design file can be an EDIF, Verilog HDL, or VHDL netlist file; an AHDL Text Design File (TDF); or any other MAX+PLUS II-supported design file. You can use a standard EDA tool to create an EDIF netlist file and import it into MAX+PLUS II software as an EDIF Input File (.edf).

Project design files and output files are stored in the project directory, with the exception of standard library functions provided by Altera or another EDA tool vendor. 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) in the project directory, 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.
