Output Generation

The output files generated by the CORE Generator software are placed in the project directory. The list of output files includes the following items.

The netlist file for the core

Supporting CORE Generator software files

Release notes and documentation

Subdirectories containing an HDL example design

Scripts to run the core through the back-end tools and to simulate the core using Mentor Graphics ModelSim v6.5c, Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator (IES) v9.2, and Synopsys VCS and VCS MX 2009.12
