netlist tricks

Feb 28, 2004 4 Replies

Hi,



to everyone who thought about doing calculations with netlists . eg. external pins, internal states are known (from reset state) to figure out the remaining signals, lets say 100% visibility.



Does anybody thought about that?



kind regards, thomas


Hi Matt,

I mean: You have a board with a few fpga´s running your partinioned design. You record all IO´s into RAM on the fastes clock (how much depends on your RAM size). After a trigger you stop and download the RAM. With this information you step into the netlists, to explore the internal signals. I think every boolean equation could be calculated, so every signal is visible - 100%.

clear? kind regards, thomas

It sounds like you want to somehow feed the contents of this RAM back into a simulation to reproduce all of the design internals?

Yep,

the idea is to record this and use the netlists in the simulation. Is there a way to use edif netlists in modelsim, with usable signal names?

What is the preferred way (performance): record first and then watch

or record and watch on the fly?
