Keep internal signals' names after synthesis

archive
archive over 17 years ago

When I synthesize my designs, RTL compiler exchanges the internal signals' names for random ones. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the internal signals' names? Or, is there a way to map the old names to the new ones? I'll try to explain my problem in a better way. I'm using PSL to verify the functioning of my design and I map internal signals to external ones (using ncmirror) in order to be able to evaluate them in PSL. When I'm using RTL that's ok, but when I have to verify the generated netlist, RTL compiler keeps the port's names but changes the name of some signals. For example, if I map a signal which name is tmod_s in my PSL, after synthesis this signal's name is changed for something like n_25 and my PSL does not work anymore. I've tried the following command before elaboration but I didn't have success: set_attr preserve true -net I've tryied to preserve the signal count_enable_s which is set as following: count_enable_s

    Thank you, Joerg.

    In fact, I don't know if it would be an impact to my design if I prevent structural optimizations during synthesis. I really need to use the internal signals in my properties instead of the ports. So, not considering the optimization after synthesis, do you know how to preserve the name of some internal signals?
