Chapter 3. Concepts
Group By Clock Domain
When enabled, all instances in the netlist will be grouped in the tree under
their relevant clock domain(s). (The clock domains become the root nodes of
the tree.) When disabled, clock domain information is not displayed in the
tree.
Show Core Instances
Toggles the display of leaf instances which are in the core of the target
device.
Show IO Ring Instances
Toggles the display of leaf instances which are in the IO Ring of the target
device.
Show Duplicated Leaf
Instances
Toggles the display of leaf instances with names containing ” DUP ”.
Show Feedthrough LUT
Leaf Instances
Toggles the display of feedthrough LUT leaf instances (with type LUT4 T
and a name starting with ”ft LUT4 RR” or ending with ” ft LUT”).
Show ’const *’ Leaf
Instances
Toggles the display of leaf instances with names matching the prefix ’const ’,
using a case-insensitive search.
Show Power and
Ground Instances
Toggles the display of leaf instances of type SOURCE0 T, SOURCE1 T,
PWR T, and GND T.
NOTE
As more instances are shown in the tree, the performance of the view may decrease. To
avoid freezing/hanging on systems with poor support for large trees, nodes are added to
the tree in small batches on demand, when individual branches of the tree are expanded,
instead of all at once. This means the vertical scrollbar may occasionally act strangely, but it
will always be correct for the current amount of data in the tree. Users may experience
significant delays waiting for the tree to finish populating if/when all instances are allowed
to be shown in the tree for large designs.
Drag-and-Drop
The Netlist Browser supports a limited set of Drag-and-Drop interactions with other views in the
. The Netlist Browser view only acts as a Drag-and-Drop source; items dropped
on the Netlist Browser view will be ignored.
Any node of the tree may be dragged to the
, and when dropped anywhere in the view
appropriate text is inserted at the beginning of the Tcl commandline.
Instance nodes may also be dragged to the
(when that view has the Placement/Panning
Tool
active) or
; when dropped,
will be attempted at the specified
location.
Any node of the tree may be dragged to the
or the Floorplanner view (when that
view has the Placement Regions Tool active) to
assign placement region constraints
. Dragging a clock
domain is the equivalent of dragging all individual instances which are members of that clock domain. Be
aware that since placement regions may only encompass the fabric core, any dragged I/O instances will not
be assigned to placement regions.
