SOURCE FILE REQUIREMENTS - ALTERA Devices

ATERA source files must be provided for each device. These files will allow Test Software Systems to develop test vectors for in-circuit testing.

REQUIREMENTS

Source Files Required : .EDO and .FIT (both are required)
Design Software : Altera MAX+Plus II Software
Supported Families : MAX 5000, 7000, 9000
FLEX 6000, 8000, 10K

DEFINITIONS

The .EDO file is a flattened EDIF-style netlist.
The .FIT file defines the external pins.

TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS to generate .EDO files:

1. From MAX+Plus II File menu, select PROJECT --> NAME to load your source project.
2. From MAX+Plus II Main menu, select COMPILER.
3. From MAX+Plus II Interfaces menu, select EDIF NETLIST
WRITER (selection is indicated with a checkmark).
4. From Interfaces menu, select EDIF NETLIST WRITER SETTINGS.

Select EDIF version 3.0.
Under CUSTOMIZE, select "Map Illegal EDIF Characters".
Under CUSTOMIZE, select "Include Special Primitives" if logic primitives FILTER or RISEFALL are used.

5. From the Compiler window, click START to compile.
6. The resultant .EDO file should now be in the proper format and may be forwarded to TEST SOFTWARE SYSTEMS.
Please include the associated component reference designator with the file.
