Project Menu
3.5.2 Open Menu Selection
The Project/Open menu selection opens the “Open Project” dialog box to specify the name for
opening an existing project. Click on the “Open” button to open the project. Click on the “Cancel”
to exit the menu. Before opening a project Silos is automatically reset so that the results from any
previous project are lost.
3.5.3 Files Menu Selection
The Project/Files menu selection opens the “Project Files” dialog box for specifying the input files
and library files for a project. To select a project for the “Project Files” dialog box use the
Project/New or Project/Open menu selections.
The “File Group” list box allows you to select Verilog HDL “Source Files”, “Library Files”, and
“PLI Library Files”. To add source files, have the Source Files option selected in the File Group
box. Next double-click on a file name in the list box, or highlight a file name in the list box and
click on the Add button to add the source file to the “Files in Group” list box. Files can be deleted
from the project by highlighting the file name in the “Files in Group” box and selecting the
“Remove” button. The “Move Up” and “Move Down” buttons allow you to rearrange the file
names in the “Files in Group” list box. Click on “Ok” to update the project and close the dialog
box and “Cancel” to exit the dialog box without affecting the project.
To specify library files, click-on the drop-down arrow in File Group list box in the Project Files
dialog box, and select “Library Files”. Double-click on library file names in the list box to add
them to the “Files in Group” list box. You can also select more than one library file by clicking on
a file name to highlight it, and then hold down the “Shift” key or the “Ctrl” key on the keyboard
while clicking on additional file names. To specify a directory of library files whose file name
extensions end in “.v”, enter the directory name followed by “{.v}" in the “File Name” box, and
click-on the Add button. An example for specifying all the files ending with “.v” for directory
“library” would be “library{.v}”. For more information on specifying library files, see the “-y”
and “-v” “Command-line Options” on page 7-4 or Silos “Library Command” on page 6-2.
To specify PLI library files, click-on the drop-down arrow in File Group list box in the Project
Files dialog box, and select “PLI Library Files”. Double-click on PLI library file names in the list
box to add them to the “Files in Group” list box as PLI library file names.
To actually input the files for a project, use the “Project /Load/Reload Input Files” menu selection
or the “Load/Reload Input Files” button on the Toolbar.
