ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems of automatically generating synthesis scripts and hierarchical flow/connectivity diagrams are provided. The user inputs design constraints, clock characteristics, technology files, and HDL code. The system handles cores, megafunctions, hardmacs, and black boxes appropriately for synthesis. During synthesis, individual modules in the HDL code may change. The system manages these incremental changes by generating incremental scripts which 1) compile, map and model the modules that have been changed and 2) characterize, compile and model the modules that have been changed in the hierarchy under that instance. During the iterative design process, new hierarchical flow diagrams may be generated to understand the full effect of the incremental changes.
