flow/pnr/EXAMPLES/README

The example shows a way to generate the foundation flow scripts for a small design.

To run FLAT flow:

   cd INNOVUS/DESIGN/
   tclsh SCRIPTS/gen_flow.tcl -m flat all

   The output scripts gets generated in the FF/EDI directory.

   To run the scripts: 

   set the innovus path.
   make

To run HIERARCHICAL flow:

   cd INNOVUS/DESIGN/
   tclsh SCRIPTS/gen_flow.tcl -m hier all

   The output scripts for partition and assembly gets generated in the FF/EDI directory.

   The PARTITION directory gets created for <top> and <block> implementation flows. Each 
   <block> directory contains scripts for flat block implementation; the <top> directory 
   contains scripts for ILM based implementation.

   To run the scripts: 

   set the innovus path.
   make

The flow for make would be :

   Run partition step
   Run <block> implementation(s) in parallel
   Run <top> implementation using block ILM
   Run assembly and sign-off

For both flat and hier flows, the inputs can be configured through setup.tcl (data) and innovus_config.tcl (tool options) 

For both the flows, plugins (user customizations) can be defined in the PLUG directory. Uncommenting the plugin in the file innovus_config.tcl will enable the plugins to be used during the appropriates step.
