Default is on.
When you turn on this option, generated Tcl scripts contain all relevant timing assignments from the
top-level.
-include_design_partitions <on|off>
Default is on.
When you turn on this option, generated Tcl scripts contain all relevant design partition assignments from
the top-level.
-remove_existing_regions <on|off>
Default is on.
When you turn on this option, generated Tcl scripts contain commands that remove any LogicLock regions
that exist in the project the script is being called on.
-disable_auto_global_promotion <on|off>
Default is off.
When you turn on this option, generated Tcl scripts contain commands that disable auto global signal
promotion in the lower levels.
-bottom_up_scripts_output_directory <output_directory>
Default is current project directory.
Specifies the output directory for the scripts and makefiles. If none is set, the working directory of the
project is used as a default.
-virtual_input_pin_delay <delay_in_ns>
No default.
Specifies a delay, in nanoseconds, that is used to constrain all paths from any of the newly created virtual
input pins in the lower-levels. This is to help guide the lower-level placement and produce a better quality
top-level result.
The value represents the maximum acceptable delay for an inter-partition signal to arrive at the project's
virtual input pin from another module. The value helps guide lower-level placement.
-virtual_output_pin_delay <delay_in_ns>
No default.
Specifies a delay, in nanoseconds, that is used to constrain all paths to any of the newly created virtual
output pins in the lower-levels. This is to help guide the lower-level placement and produce a better
quality top-level result.
The value represents the maximum acceptable delay for an inter-partition signal driven by the virtual
output pin to arrive at its destination. The value helps guide lower-level placement.
