To provide a design support device capable of reducing the man-hour of design verification and preventing mismatching in pin assignment between a logic circuit diagram and a designated component even when the pin assignment is changed as a result of circuit design and substrate layout design based on a precedently prepared logic circuit diagram.
Pin assignment information of an FPGA(field programmable gate array)/PLD(programmable logic device) component and a substrate is extracted from data of a logic circuit diagram of the substrate with the FPGA/PLD component mounted, and the pin assignment information is used to prepare a pin correspondence table for regulating the pin assignment of the FPGA/PLD component on the substrate.
