4.3Design Flow

The design presented in this tutorial, only performs the required steps for designing and programming an AT94K series device. For more information on the optional steps (i.e. Simulation and Co-verification) please consult the FPSLIC application notes available on the Atmel web site. Figure 4-2 outlines the design flow followed in this tutorial. For more information on a specific step, consult the appropriate section within this tutorial.

4.4Creating a Project

This tutorial uses the New Project Wizard to assist with the creation of the project. The New Project Wizard allows you to choose your Project Directory, Target Device, and desired Tool Flow.

1.Launch System Designer from the desktop icon, or by pointing to Start > Pro- grams > Atmel > SystemDesigner.

2.Create a new project by selecting New from the Project menu and then pressing the New Project Wizard button. The New Project Wizard window opens, see Fig- ure 4-3.
