[INNOVUS] Pin assignment with hard macros

TomBradyVLSI
TomBradyVLSI over 3 years ago

I am using innovus and I'm having problems with routing to the pins on my hardmacro.

Basically, since the pins are fixed, I can't re-do pin assignment to locate the pins in positions that are advantageous to PnR for my full design. 

Is there any internal tool I can use for better pin assignment? I actually have the RTL for the hardmacro.

I am doing "bottom up" approach in which case I do PnR on leaf cells, export them as LEF files, then import as a larger design.
