Colors and symbols differentiate the I/O and logic macros in ChipPlanner. The following table defines the default colors assigned to symbols. You can change these colors per design.
Color/Symbol |
Definition |
---|---|
White Border |
A white border denotes a selected object. |
Black Background |
A black background denotes an unused or unassigned module. |
Blue |
Blue denotes a combinatorial module. |
Yellow |
Yellow denotes locked logic modules. If the module is selected, the symbol appears yellow. If the module is unselected, the border appears yellow. |
Green |
Green denotes I/O modules. |
Red |
Red denotes clock modules. |
Magenta |
Magenta denotes sequential modules. |
|
Reserved modules that are not user definable are gray, crossed-out symbols on a black background. |
|
Clock modules are red. Unused/unassigned modules are red symbols on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black symbols on a red background. |
Input/Output modules are green. Unused/unassigned modules are green symbols on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black symbols on a green background. | |
|
Combinatorial modules are blue. Unused/unassigned modules are blue symbols on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black symbols on a blue background. |
|
Sequential modules are magenta. Unused/unassigned modules are magenta symbols on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black symbols on a magenta background. |
|
Buffer modules are blue. |
|
RAM modules are green. Unused/unassigned modules are green symbols (RAM) on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black on a green background. |
|
PLL modules are green. Unused/unassigned modules are green symbols (PLL) on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black on a green background. |
|
I/O Inbuff modules are pink on a black background. Used/assigned modules are black on a pink background. |
