Design Compilation
When the MAX+PLUS II software processes a design, the MAX+PLUS II
Compiler reads in design files and produces output files for
programming, simulation, and timing analysis. The Message Processor
can automatically locate errors detected during compilation and find the
source design files for designers. The MAX+PLUS II Compiler can
optimize design files for FLEX 10K, FLEX 8000, FLEX 6000, MAX 9000,
MAX 7000, MAX 5000, and Classic devices.
Message Processor
The MAX+PLUS II Message Processor communicates with all
MAX+PLUS II applications, reporting error, information, and warning
messages for design problems such as connection and syntax errors, as
well as simulation, timing analysis, and programming information.
Designers can use the Message Processor to open the design file that
contains the source of an error and highlight its location automatically. In
addition, the Message Processor can locate errors for the current project in
the Floorplan Editor. See
