FoundationFlow - what about floorplanning?

ErezBS

Hi i have looked at the foundation flow scripts.

i didnt found anything regarding floorplanning, should  this step exists? or this flow starts from placement step?

Thanks. 

  • Hello,

    Floorplanning is typically an interactive step but if you've scripted your floorplan creation you can specify the script in the setup.tcl file using:

        set vars(fp_tcl_file) fileName

    The Foundation Flow will then source the script during the init step. Alternatively, if you have it defined in a procedure you can set the variable:

        set vars(fp_tcl_proc) procName

    Lastly, there are prototyping Foundation Flows you can utilize to do your floorplanning. See the Rapid Adoption Kits available here:

    Hope this helps,
