Mapping

archive

Hi All,

I am new to using Conformal. Is there a way to do a one-many mapping. I saved the current mapping and observed the map file and everything is 1-1 mapping. I tried to manualy edit the map file for 1-many but had errors in reading then. Is there a solution.

Also, I used the LTX in conformal custom to extract verilog code from transistor level netlist. Do you know a way to see that code (or save it).

Thanks
Micro

  • Hi Micro,

    Mapping
    =======
    Technically, mapping is always 1 to 1! One DFF from golden can only map to One DFF on the revised. I am going to make two assumptions of what could be going on your design based on the question.

    #1:Unfolded DLAT's in the revised:
    You will need to use the command
    SETUP> set flatten model -latch_fold
    which will fold the master & slave latches in your design to DFF. This way the mapping happens cleanly

    #2:Cloned Registers:
    If you have multiple DFF's in the gate-level that need to match to a single DFF in the golden, then it is a case of register cloning. For such cases you need to specify all your multiple cloned registers, DFF's are equivalent, with the command
    SETUP> add instance equivalent . . -revised This specifies DFF1, DFF2, DFF3 are all equivalent or cloned in the gate-level design. Therefore all three flops will automatically map to 1 DFF in the golden and hence achieving your "1-to-many" mapping scenario.

    LTX Question:
    =============
    Once you have abstracted your transistor/spice level design, you can write out the resulting verilog with
    SETUP> write design -verilog

    Since I made some assumptions earlier, I will ask you contact sourcelink as they have experts who can debug the issues for you directly.

    Best Regards
