The NGC file extension stands for "Xilinx Generated Netlist File". It is a plain text file format that is used to store circuit design information. This type of file is created by Design Compiler, which is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool of Xilinx. This netlist syntax is synthesized and used for circuit designs in programmable logic devices, such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Various versions of NGC exist so the exact syntax varies depending on the Xilinx integrated design software version.
Syntax Details
The syntax of a NGC file includes elements like cells, ports, pins, instances, comments and other information required to construct a circuit board at the physical layer. The contents of the netlist are proprietary and must be read with Xilinx's own tools. The element defined by the NGC file represent the transforms performed on elements within the Xilinx software.
The contents of a Xilinx Generated Netlist File are related to various other formats like the .EDF, .XNF, .VHD, and many more. All of these files formats are related to various digital design instructions and gate level netlists.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NGC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NGC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NGC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NGC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NGC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NGC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NGC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NGC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NGC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NGC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
