Abstract

A computer-implemented electronic design system (10) is used to design electronic circuits, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other complex logic circuits. The system allows a user to create an architecture independent schematic representation (12) of a circuit by selecting, arranging and interconnecting functional representations (14) of the circuit components. The system automatically configures the functional representations (14) for a selected target circuit architecture by generating architecture representations (20) of the circuit components for placement on the selected target architecture representation (22). The architecture specific representations (20) placed on the selected target architecture representation (22) can be moved to new locations or to another selected target architecture representation (22) and are dynamically re-configured for the new location or new target architecture.
