Using RTL compiler PLE with DEF flow

tompy

I would like to adapt DEF flow with RTL compiler PLE.

 

Is there any user guide or manual I can reference with?

 

And should I get a detailed DEF from backend or I can just take a rough DEF (only information about memory, hard macro, and some high level hierarchical design)?

 

thanks!

 

 

  •  By the way, I only have RC200.Do I need other feature to run DEF flow?

     

  • Hi Tompy,

    I am not sure what you mean by the DEF flow. If, by that, you mean a flow that reads a DEF file, then reading a DEF does not require anything beyond RC200. However, other licenses may be required if you want to enable physical features such as congestion mitigation, etc.

    As per the DEF, indeed a floorplan is what is expected and recommended and not a detailed floorplan. If you have a final floorplan, all cells are fixed and hence there would not be much for the synthesis tool to do

    Please review user guide
