The EDIF2NGD program allows you to read an EDIF (Electronic Design Interchange Format) 2 0 0 file into the Xilinx development system toolset. EDIF2NGD converts an industry-standard EDIF netlist to an NGO file—a Xilinx-specific format. The EDIF file includes the hierarchy of the input schematic. The output NGO file is a binary database describing the design in terms of the components and hierarchy specified in the input design file. After you convert the EDIF file to an NGO file, you run NGDBuild to create an NGD file, which expands the design to include a description reduced to Xilinx primitives.
