xilinx文件格式

转自"KevinOMG"的博客

XCO: This file contains core options and parameters. 

EDN/NGC: This is the implementation netlist for the IP cores which output netlists. It is passed on to the Translate (NGDBuild) process. 

SYM: This schematic symbol is automatically generated for instantiating the IP in a schematic. 

VHO or VEO template files: These files are automatically generated for instantiating the IP in an HDL file. 

VHD or V simulation wrapper files: These files are provided for simulation of IP cores which output netlists. 

VHD or V source-code files: These files are the actual source-code required for both synthesis and simulation of IP cores which output source-code.

edif和ngc区别​

SynplifyPro默认生成的网表文件（EDIF）、Xilinx IP Core和XST生成的网表文件（NGC/NGO）​

ngc里都是Xilinx fpga的原语； 第三方综合工具综合后是EDIF文件​

综合产生的网表文件，包含网络表和约束，是Xilinx自有文件格式，为二进制文件，且被加密了；可以用来进行知识产权保护，例如许多第三方的AllianceCORE就是这样来实现的；（Xilinx自己的LogiCORE有部分是网表，有部分是加密的vhd源程序）​
