Description
Back-annotates a LogicLock region and its contents.
When you use the "-routing" option, you must use the "-lock" and "-no_demote_lab" options, without the
"-no_contents" option, or use the"-remove_assignments" option.
The "-remove_assignments" option removes all matching region contents. When you use the
"-remove_assignments" option, the demotion options, "-no_contents" and "-lock", are not applicable.
The "-resource_filter" option allows you to back-annotate only specific resource types on the device. For
example:
logiclock_back_annotate -resource_filter "COMBINATORIAL"
This command back-annotates all combinatorial nodes in the design. The complete set of options is:
