M1.5 LogiBLOX - A new file extension (.ngc) is introduced for the implementation netlist.
説明
Keywords: LogiBLOX, GUI, EDN, NGC, .ngc
Urgency: Standard
General Description: The implementation netlist produced by LogiBLOX in the M1.5 release will have a ".ngc" extension instead of .ngo.
ソリューション
In M1 releases prior to 1.5, when LogiBLOX generated an NGD model for a module, it created a file with a ".ngo" extension. NGDBUILD would read this ".ngo" file in as the implementation model for the LogiBLOX module.
However, in some cases, if a user also happened to generate an EDIF simulation netlist for the module, NGDBUILD, following its precedence rules, would read in this ".edn" file as the source netlist andrecreate the ".ngo" file. Since the LogiBLOX-created EDIF netlist was intended only for simulation, it would not contain the required implementation information. As a result, NGDBUILD (EDIF2NGD) would reject the EDIF and issue an error.
To eliminate this problem, the M1.5 version of LogiBLOX writes the implementation netlist to a file with a ".ngc" extension (instead of ".ngo"). When NGDBUILD finds a ".ngc" file defining a module, it uses this file directly, and does not look for any associated "source" netlists. In all other respects, the ".ngc" file serves the same purpose as the ".ngo" file.
