SoC Encounter - Hierarchical design help

weebey
weebey over 11 years ago
I am running into an issue while trying to implement a hierarchical design in Encounter. My design has 4 different types of modules instantiated in the top level. After importing the gate level netlist into Encounter, I switch to floorplan mode and see a box for the core and a solid pink box for one of the modules instantiated in my design. The other 3 modules do not show up at all. However, when I open the design browser I see that it lists all 4 modules. I can't figure out why these modules don't show up while in floorplan mode. Can anyone give me some suggestions or guidance? Thanks.

    I think you are seing the top level giude select it and use the gui to 'smash" flatten the pink guid to see what it's sub modules are the widgets are in the menu bar for ungrouping (flattening) and re-grouping....hope that helps!
