Designing your interface is straightforward: add interface blocks, configure them, and then generate reports and constraints. The Efinity software uses the constraints during compilation to connect signals from the core to your interface.
During the design process, you can generate reports, which are available in the Efinity® Results tab. When you generate reports, the software also saves your design.
Use the design checker to check the interface for errors and to ensure that your settings are valid. The Interface designer displays design issues in the message viewer window. You can also export design issues () to generate a comma separated values (.csv) report to view the issues in a spreadsheet application. When you run the design checker, the software automatically saves your interface.
When you are done configuring your interface, click the Export Efinity Constraints Files button to export the interface constraints to your project. The software saves the design, checks it for errors, generates the interface reports and the interface constraint files.
Click Exit to close the Interface Designer and return to the Efinity® main window.
