A word processing or spreadsheet application is augmented by a plug-in and templates for computer aided design of electronic hardware entities. The plug-in utilizes the application programming interface to provide a menu system and executable code which inserts templates, reads and validates data entered into the template, computes addresses, annotates addresses and error messages back to a word processing document for display in the editor of the word processing document, and upon selection and request, generates output files for target simulators or synthesis tools. |
