Step 4: Display the MegaLAB View

You can view the interior MegaLAB structures of the device in the floorplan. Each MegaLAB contains a number of LABs, one ESB, and a MegaLAB Interconnect structure.

To display the MegaLABs of the device in the Floorplan Editor window, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Interior MegaLABs (View menu). The Floorplan Editor displays the MegaLABs in the device. Unused resources are shown in white, by default. Used resources are color-coded to reflect the interconnect used in fitting.

    2. Show Me

    MegaLAB View in the Floorplan Editor

  2. In column 1 row A, click the + icon to expand MegaLAB_A1. The MegaLAB expands to show its individual LABs.

  3. Choose Interior Cells (View menu).

  4. After you are finished looking at the Last Compilation floorplan, choose Close (File menu).
