The Configuration Manager for FPGA Dialog.

Summary

This dialog provides controls for the designer to map each configuration of a FPGA project on the design side to a specific Item on the manufacturing side. The designer can add new configurations, edit or delete existing ones within this dialog.

Access

In a FPGA project, run command Project >> Configuration Manager to access this dialog.

Options/Controls

For each configuration, simply specify a particular constraint file to be used. 

  • Add New Configuration - Click on the Add New Configuration link, above the currently defined configuration(s) to add a new configuration. Each new configuration will be given a default name, in the format New ConfigurationNew Configuration 1, and so on. 
    To change the unique name for a configuration rather than delete the default configuration, simply rename it and then define it as required. To rename a configuration, simply click within its name field and type the new name as required.
  • Delete - Click on the Delete link, to the right of the configuration's name. A dialog will appear asking for confirmation to proceed with the deletion – click Yes, and the configuration will be removed.
  • No Constraints Selected - Click to open Constraint-File Assignments for FPGA Project dialog, in which the designer can add a new constraint file, delete an existing constraint file, and choose a target constraint file for current configuration. After a constraint file is enabled for current configuration, the No Constraints Selected link will change to the name of constraint file.

 

The FPGA configuration will match a target specific Item in the vault in configuration manager of the parent PCB project, and must point to a revision of that Item that is in the Planned state. The Output Job file(s) will drive the generation of its outputs – the instructions from which the targeted Item will be produced.
