Examining Routed Designs with EPIC

At this point in the tutorial, the design process is complete. If you would like to see how the design has been implemented by the Xilinx software, you can take a graphic look at your placed and routed design using the Editor for Programmable Integrated Circuits, or EPIC. You can access EPIC from the Xilinx Design Manager.

EPIC provides several useful functions, such as:

• Manual placement of a pre-routed design
  
  
• Manual editing of a routed design
  
  
• Static timing analysis
