Hi according to the screenshot here http://www.actel.com/products/software/smartdesign/default.aspx it seems that CoreABC can be used in Libero, but when trying to add a CoreABC instance it asks for CoreConsole to be installed and configured. and if that is done, then it will forget some of the connections made and if that project is closed and reopened then it says that in need to upgrade coreconsole design to new smart design flow, but then it says that the conversion is not supported for CoreABC CoreABC should be simple as A B C! But all attempts to use it with lates Libero version seem to fail Antti

Antti has solved his own problem
