1 Introduction

The TPLD family is a family of programmable logic. Creating the connections and configuring the blocks creates a long binary string that is rather unwieldy. To help this, the InterConnect Studio software was created to provide a graphical drag and drop interface that then generates the necessary binary string. This purpose of this document is to describe all the tools available in ICS, and help to ease the barrier of entry into the programmable world.
