摘要:
A method and system for automatically identifying configuration cell addresses in a schematic hierarchy is disclosed. In one embodiment of the present invention, a memory cell (e.g., a configuration bit) is identified in a schematic hierarchy. Next, this embodiment determines an address for the memory cell. Then, this embodiment determines a unique name for the memory cell. The name is comprised of a hierarchical logical name and a schematic path name. By traversing the schematic and using logical names, all addresses of configuration bits of a circuit design may be automatically determined. The process is repeated for each memory cell in the schematic. This embodiment stores the unique name of the configuration bit and the address of the configuration bit in a data structure.
摘要:
A method and system for automatically building a bit order data structure of configuration bits for a programmable logic device. One embodiment of the present invention first identifies a plurality of memory cells in a hierarchical schematic representation of the programmable device. Next, this embodiment determines a plurality of addresses corresponding to the plurality of memory cells. This embodiment next determines a plurality of logical names for the plurality of memory cells. Then, based on an order in which the plurality of addresses are to be loaded into the programmable logic device, this embodiment orders the plurality of logical names for the plurality of memory cells. Another embodiment first accesses a database comprising a plurality of logical names corresponding to a plurality of addresses. Then, this embodiment accesses a database specifying an order in which the plurality of addresses are to be loaded into the programmable logic device. Next, this embodiment orders the plurality of logical names based on the order specified in the database from the previous step.
