Converting Concept Schematics into MAX+PLUS II-Compatible EDIF Netlist Files with the concept2alt Utility
You can use the concept2alt utility to generate an EDIF netlist file from a Concept schematic. This file can then be imported into the
MAX+PLUS® II software as an EDIF Input File (.edf).
To convert a Concept schematic into an EDIF netlist file, follow these steps:
- Be sure to set up your working environment correctly, as described in Setting Up the MAX+PLUS II/Cadence Working Environment.
- Create a Concept schematic and save it in your working directory, as described in Creating Concept Schematics for Use with MAX+PLUS II Software.

You can instantiate MegaCore functions offered by Altera or by members of the Altera Megafunction Partners Program (AMPP). The OpenCore feature in the MAX+PLUS II software allows you to instantiate, compile, and simulate MegaCore functions before deciding whether to purchase a license for full device programming and post-compilation simulation support. |
- Type the following command at the UNIX prompt from the /source directory that contains the schematic:
concept2alt -rundir ../max2 <design name> 
If your design uses library of parameterized modules (LPM) functions, you must also include the -family option. For example:
concept2 alt -family FLEX10K -rundirmax2 <design name> 
- Process the <design name>.edf file with the MAX+PLUS II Compiler, as described in Compiling Projects with MAX+PLUS II Software.
