Using the HDL Editor

The HDL Editor is a text editor designed for editing HDL source files. In addition to regular editing features, the editor provides a syntax checker.

You can have multiple files open at one time in the HDL Editor workspace. Click the tabs to move between files.

CoreConsole only: If you use the template created by CoreConsole to instantiate the top level of the CoreConsole project, you must create a new HDL source file and copy the content of the template. If you do not, Libero IDE overwrites the file if you re-import a CoreConsole project.

Editing

Editing functions are available in the Edit menu. Available functions include cut, copy, paste, find, and replace. These features are also available in the toolbar.

Saving

You must save your file to add it to your Libero IDE project. Select Save in the File menu, or click the Save icon in the toolbar.

Printing

Print and Print Preview functions are available from the File menu and the toolbar.

Note: To avoid conflicts between changes made in your HDL files, Actel recommends that you use one editor for all of your HDL edits.
