DATA CREATION DEVICE AND DATA CREATION PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data creation device or the like which reliably updates the version number of a circuit. SOLUTION: The data generation device which generates configuration data to be fetched into a programmable logic device is provided with: a logic generation part which receives function information in which the logical function of the circuit is described and generates logic circuit information showing connection of an element; and a layout wiring part which performs arrangement and wiring according to the logic circuit information to generate the configuration data. The logic generation part is provided with a first version number update part which updates version number information showing the number of version of the logic circuit information every time the logic circuit information is generated. The logic generation part generates the logic circuit information including a version number storage circuit in which the updated version number information is stored so as to be read from the outside of a programmable logic device.
