Description
Returns a list of all flip flop instances in the current design.
You can use the get_cells command, or use the filter command to limit the results from the all_ffs command to return a list of flip-flop cells matching the specified properties.
The all_ffs command is scoped to return the objects hierarchically, from the top-level of the design or from the level of the current instance. By default the current instance is defined as the top level of the design, but can be changed by using the current_instance command.
Arguments
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.Examples
The following example returns the count of all flops in the design, then returns the count of all flops in the fftEngine module:
current_instance
INFO: [Vivado 12-618] Current instance is the top level of design 'netlist_1'.
top
llength [all_ffs]
15741
current_instance fftEngine
fftEngine
llength [all_ffs]
1519This example filters the results of
all_ffs to return only the FDRE flops:
filter [all_ffs] {REF_NAME == FDRE}
