Back­Annotating MAX+PLUS II Pin Assignments to Design Architect Symbols

The MAX+PLUS® II/Mentor Graphics software interface includes the annotate_pin utility. This utility allows you to back-annotate the pin assignments from the MAX+PLUS II-generated Fit File (.fit) back to the symbol for the design file. The annotate_pin utility has the following syntax:

annotate_pin [-p <property name>] <symbol name> <chip name> <Fit File name> Enter

where <property name> is the default name for the pin assignment (default is PIN_NO), <symbol name> is the pathname of the directory that contains the symbol, <chip name> is the chip name specified in the Fit File, and <Fit File name> is the name of the Fit File that contains the pin assignment information for back-annotation. If the <property name> is not found at a pin number, that pin will not be back-annotated. If the <chip name> is not found in the Fit File, the annotate_pin utility stops the back-annotation process.

For example:

annotate_pin -p PIN_NO /usr/examples/decode decode decode.fit Enter

Note: Type annotate_pin -h Enter at the UNIX prompt to display information on how to use this utility.
