XC7000, SYNOPSYS FPGA/Design Compiler - An example of a .synopsys_dc.setup file

Description

Keywords: FPGA, Design Compiler, .synopsys_dc.setup

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
This answer contains an example of a .synopsys_dc.setup file for the XC7000 family
using Synopsys' Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler.

Solution

NOTE: For compiler to find the location of the XC7000 library, you MUST also have
the .synopsys_vss.setup file in this directory.

/* Design Compiler and FPGA Compiler startup file - .synopsys_dc.setup */
/* for XC7000 EPLD */

/* Insert actual $DS401 and $SYNOPSYS path into search_path below */

search_path = {. \
<DS401-XACT-Directory>/synopsys/libraries/syn \
<SYNOPSYS-Directory>/libraries/syn}

link_library = {xc7000.db xc7000.sldb}
target_library = {xc7000.db}
symbol_library = {xc7000.sdb}
synthetic_library = {xc7000.sldb}

bus_naming_style = "%s<%d>"
bus_dimension_separator_style = "><"
bus_inference_style = "%s<%d>"

edifout_netlist_only = true
edifout_power_and_ground_representation = cell
edifout_write_properties_list = {LOC}

compile_fix_multiple_port_nets = true

xnfout_library_version = "2.0.0"
