When the redifnet utility imports an EDIF netlist file for the RapidSIM software, it creates a SCALD directory for your project. However, creating this directory may overwrite the directory that was created for the original Concept schematic. To prevent overwriting this directory, you should create a file structure that helps you manage your design files.
Altera recommends that you create the following three directories for your design files.
| Directory: | Description: | |
| ./source | Create Concept schematics and generate EDIF netlist files with the wedifnet utility in the source directory. | |
| ./max2 | Copy the EDIF Input File (.edf) from the source directory to this directory to compile the file with the | |
| ./dest | Copy the EDIF Output File (.edo) from the max2 directory to this directory to run the redifnet and RapidSIM software. |
Copies of the appropriate directives files for Cadence tools must be present in both the source and dest directories. Figure 1 shows Altera's recommended file structure.
