ABSTRACT:
An FPGA-information managing unit included in a circuit-designing CAD apparatus retrieves FPGA information, such as pin-assignment information and attribute information, that is created by an FPGA-designing CAD apparatus. When performing a DRC, as for in an FPGA, a DRC unit checks an attribute of a pin and the like by referring to the FPGA information that is retrieved from the FPGA-designing CAD apparatus and stored in a FPGA-information storing unit by the FPGA-information managing unit.
