Project Manager
The Project Manager user interface is a true "Integrated Design Environment". From design creation through device programming, the IDE Design Flow Window intuitively presents a typical Actel FPGA design flow, where each button on the window is interactive to launch the respective tool when desired. Tool tip pop ups display design files, file status, tool version and status, design state, and more.
For the status-conscious designer, Libero indicates "Pre-Simulation", "Post-Simulation", and "Post-Layout" design states, and tool buttons clearly indicate status as one of the following:
- Ready (white): on line and source files in place
- Finished (green): process successfully completed
- Problem (red): tool not in project or license issue
A comprehensive file manager displays all design files in the project, appropriately associating each to its proper tool function such as Schematic or HDL Source Files, SmartGen cores, Stimulus, Synthesis, Simulation, and Designer implementation files. A Design Hierarchy tab displays a hierarchical representation and structure of the design based on the source files in the project and how they relate to each other. Libero IDE continuously analyzes and updates source files and updates the hierarchy as you move through the project. A dynamically updated log window provides current activity notations and important information.
