Project Navigator

WebPACK starts in the Project Navigator.  From the Project Navigator you work with projects that define your designs.  Editors, simulators, and other programs are launched from within the Project Navigator.


Project Sources

Your design can be represented in various ways.  Those representations are called sources.  A source is any element in the design such as an ABEL design file.  Sources are displayed in the Project Navigator Source's Window.

They include not only the description of the circuits, as represented by schematics and hardware description languages, but also include stimulation test fixtures and documentation of the design.  All those pieces are part of the whole design, which includes not only the circuits but the things you need to do to assure yourself that those circuits work as they ought to.

The design description (logic) for a project is contained within the following types of sources

•	ABEL-HDL files

•	VHDL files

•	Verilog HDL files

One source file in a project is the top-level source for the design.  The top-level source defines the inputs and outputs that will be mapped into the device, and references the logic descriptions contained in lower-level sources.  The referencing of another source is called “instantiation.”  Lower-level sources can also instantiate sources to build as many levels of logic as necessary to describe your design.

  If you build a project with a single source, that source is automatically the top-level source.

The type of a source is indicated by the icon to the left of the source name in the Sources Window.

Listed below that are the sources for the project.  When you begin a new project there won’t be any of these except for the project notebook. For most of the tools to work, there needs to be only one top-level source that has to be the root source for all the other sources in the project.  This can usually be done with a single top level schematic that represents the entire system, and that schematic then calls out all the parts.

Source Type	Icon	File Extension
Project notebook		.npl
Document File (such as a specification)		.wri, .doc, .hlp (or any extension not recognized by Project Navigator)
Targeted Device Family (appears in all IC Design projects)		.fdk
Undefined or incorrect source reference


The Processes Window

The Processes window (on the right side of the Project Navigator) shows all the processing tasks that apply to whatever object or file is highlighted in the Sources window (on the left side).  A processing task includes: netlisting, compiling, logic reduction, logic synthesis, placement and routing — in other words, any step along the way from design entry to implemented IC, system, or board.

Design Flows in the Processes Window

One of the most powerful features is that it knows how to process any kind of design for any kind of architecture, and the Project Navigator is context sensitive, which helps prevent information overload.

The steps in the Processes window are context sensitive in two ways.  First, the processes change depending on what kind of source file you’ve highlighted in the Sources window (source-level flow).  Second, the processing for a given file changes depends on what target device, or board layout tool, or system simulation kit you’ve chosen (project-level flow).

Project-level Design Flow

For IC Design projects, click on the device icon ( [image]) in the Sources Window.  The processes that appear in the Processes Window represent the Project-level Design Flow.

Source-level Design Flow

Click on any source (such as a schematic or HDL source) in the Sources Window. The processes that appear in the Processes Window (if any) represent the Source-level Design Flow.


The Log Output Window
The Transcript Window

The Transcript Window shows the Automake log output for the most recently run Design Process. The window is re-initialized each time a new process is run. You can copy data from the window to the clipboard by highlighting the text that you want to copy and right-clicking the mouse to get the context menu.

The Transcript Window can be undocked by double-clicking on the “grabber” bars at the left of the window, or by holding down the left mouse button over the grabber bars and dragging the window. The window can be redocked by either double-clicking on the window title bar, or dragging the window to the bottom area of the Project Navigator main window until you see the drag shape change to the docked shape.

New	Create a new source and add the source to the current project
Add	Copy an existing source to the project directory and add it to the current project
Remove	Remove the selected source from the project
Open	Open the highlighted source
Properties	Edit properties for highlighted source
Source: New

Purpose: Create a new source and add the source to the current project

From Keyboard: In the Project Navigator, Alt+s, n

The New command prompts the user to select a source type from a list of available sources. Once selected the appropriate application for that source is launched. For example if the ABEL-HDL Source type was selected, then the ABEL-CPLD Text Editor will open with a new ABEL file. The user is prompted for a Module and File name. After assigning a name to the new source the source is added to the current project.

Source: Add

Purpose: Copy an existing source to the project directory and add it to the current project

From Keyboard: In the Project Navigator, Insert

The Add command prompts the user to select the source from the browse window. Once selected the source is copied to the project directory and added to the project in the Source Window

Source: Remove

Purpose: Remove the selected source from the project

From Keyboard: In the Project Navigator, Delete

Removes the selected source from the project.  You are prompted to confirm the remove, unless you hold the shift key down, in which case the source is deleted with no confirmation. This option is not available when the project notebook or device icon is selected.

Note:  When you remove a source from a project, the file for the source is not deleted.  (The file remains in the current directory.)

Source: Open

Purpose: Open the highlighted source

From Keyboard: In the Project Navigator, Alt+s, o (or double-click on source)

The Open command allows the user to select a source in the Source Window and open the source with the appropriate application or editor. For example, if the ABEL-HDL source type was selected, then when the Open command is executed and the ABEL-CPLD Text Editor will open and load the selected ABEL file.

Source: Properties

Purpose: Launch the Properties Editor dialog for the highlighted source

From Mouse: In Project Navigator main toolbar click on

From Keyboard: In the Project Navigator, Alt+s, p

The Project Navigator launches the Properties Editor dialog, allowing you to edit the values of the properties for the selected source.


Process Menu Overview
Process Menu

The Process Menu contains commands that provide a means to execute the processes contained in the “Processes for Current Source” window, and modify process properties.

Click on the commands tab for complete information about each command available in the Process Menu.


Process Menu Commands
Process Menu

The Process Menu has the following commands listed below:

Detailed Description	Purpose
Run	Run the selected process and any processes it depends upon, if they are not up to date
Rerun All	Runs the selected process again
Stop	Stop the currently running process
Properties	Launch the Properties Editor dialog for the highlighted process
Process: Run

Purpose: Run the selected process and any processes it depends upon, if they are not up to date

From Mouse: In Project Navigator main toolbar click on

From Keyboard: Alt+p, r

You can also run a process by double clicking on it.

The Project Navigator determines what reports the selected process depends upon, then notes any reports in that sequence that are not up to date, and finally runs all preceding processes that are not up to date until it is satisfied that the target report for the selected process is up to date.

Use this command when you wish to run the selected process.

Example: Each numbered item below represents a report, each alphabetized item a process. The arrows connecting them represent their relationship in automake. Processes with a green check mark are up to date.

In this example, selecting process E and doing Process->Run would cause Project Navigator to first run process B, then D, then E. Processes A and C are considered up to date, therefore there is no need to run them.

Process: Rerun All

Purpose: Run the selected process and all processes it depends upon, even if they are up to date

From Mouse: In Project Navigator main toolbar click on

From Keyboard: Alt+p, a

The Project Navigator determines what reports the current process depends upon, then runs all processes preceding and including the selected process. It does not consider whether any report is up to date.

Use this command when all the processes are checked green, but you want to run them all again anyway.

Example: Each numbered item below represents a report, each alphabetized item a process. The arrows connecting them represent their relationship in automake. Processes with a green check mark are up to date.

Selecting process E and doing Process->Rerun All would cause Project Navigator to run process A, then B, then C, followed by D and E. Rerun All ignores automake rules and runs all processes that the selected process depends upon regardless of whether they are up to date.

Process: Stop

Purpose: Stop the currently  running process

From Mouse: In Project Navigator main toolbar click on

From Keyboard: Alt+p, s

The Project Navigator stops the currently running process. Stopping the process is not always immediate, as it is dependent on when the running program will yield.

Process: Properties

Purpose: Launch the Properties Editor dialog for the highlighted process

From Mouse: In Project Navigator main toolbar click on

From Keyboard: Alt+p, p

The Project Navigator launches the Properties Editor dialog, allowing you to edit the values of the properties for the selected process.

Use this command when you wish to modify the processing properties for the selected process.
