MAX+PLUS II/Viewlogic Powerview Interface File Organization

Table 1 shows the MAX+PLUS^® II/Viewlogic Powerview interface subdirectories that are created in the MAX+PLUS II system directory (by default, the /usr/maxplus2 directory) during MAX+PLUS II installation.

For information on the other directories that are created during MAX+PLUS II installation, see "MAX+PLUS II File Organization" in MAX+PLUS II Installation in the MAX+PLUS II Getting Started manual.

Table 1. MAX+PLUS II Directory Organization
Directory	Description
./lmf	Contains the Altera-provided Library Mapping File, vwlogic.lmf, that maps Viewlogic logic functions to equivalent MAX+PLUS II logic functions.
./viewlogic	Contains the alt_edif.cfg EDIF configuration file that is used with the edifneti utility. Also contains the library and sample subdirectories.
./viewlogic/examples	Contains the sample Viewlogic designs.
./viewlogic/library/max2sim	Contains the MAX+PLUS II simulation model library (max2_sim) for use in ViewSim software.
./viewlogic/library/alt_max2	Contains MAX+PLUS II primitives (EXP, GLOBAL, LCELL, SOFT, CARRY, CASCADE, DFFE, DFFE6K, and OPNDRN), macrofunctions (a_8fadd, a_8mcomp, a_8count, a_81mux), and megafunctions (clklock) for use in ViewDraw schematics. These logic functions support specific architectural features of Altera® devices. The alt_max2 library also contains modified versions of the ViewDraw primitives that use tri-state buffers, because these primitives require special handling in the MAX+PLUS II/Viewlogic Powerview interface.
./viewlogic/library/synlib	Contains the Altera-provided synthesis library altera, which includes MAX+PLUS II primitives, the altera.sml file, a sym directory, and a wir directory for use with ViewSynthesis software.
./viewlogic/library/alt_mf	Contains the VHDL models for the MAX+PLUS II primitives (EXP, GLOBAL, LCELL, SOFT, CARRY, CASCADE, DFFE, and OPNDRN), macrofunctions (clklock) for use with ViewSynthesis software, the Vantage VHDL Analyzer software, and the VHDL source files. These logic functions are used to maintain portability to other architectures.
./viewlogic/library/alt_time	Contains MOTIVE timing models for MAX+PLUS II logic functions (motive.lib), including the clklock megafunction, and MAX+PLUS II driver models (motive.drv).
./viewlogic/library/alt_vtl	Contains the VHDL source files for the VITAL 3.0-compliant library. This library is available for ViewSim software.
./viewlogic/bin	Contains all MAX+PLUS II, Viewlogic, and interface-related scripts.
./viewlogic/standard	Contains all standard .ini files and standard tools.
