Introduction

The Efinity® software provides a complete tool flow for designing with Efinix® FPGAs and cores. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a visual way for you to set up projects, run the software flow, view floorplan information, and build the interfaces that surround the logic portion of your design. You use the command-line interface to perform simulation and automate the flow using scripts.

Figure 1. Design Flow Overview

This document describes scripts that can be used to run the flow, configure FPGAs, and perform various other operations with the Efinity software at the command-line interface.

Note: Within the Efinity source files, you may find additional internal scripts that are not referenced in this document. Efinix developers recommend against using command-line scripts that are not covered by official documentation.
