Move or place one or more instances to new locations. Sites and cells are required to be listed in the right order and there should be same number of sites as number of cells.

Description
Places cells onto device resources of the target part. Cells can be placed onto specific BEL sites (e.g. SLICE_X49Y60/A6LUT
), or into available SLICE resources (e.g. SLICE_X49Y60
). If you specify the SLICE but not the BEL the tool will determine an appropriate BEL within the specified SLICE if one is available.
When placing a cell onto a specified site, the site must not be currently occupied, or an error will be returned: Cannot set site and bel property of instances. Site SLICE_X49Y61 is already occupied.
get_property IS_OCCUPIED [get_bels SLICE_X48Y60/D6LUT]
This command can be used to place cells, or to move placed cells from one site on the device to another site. The command syntax is the same for placing an unplaced cell, or moving a placed cell.
When moving a placed cell, if you specify only the SLICE for the site, the tool will attempt to place the cell onto the same BEL site in the new SLICE as it currently is placed. For instance moving a cell from the B6LUT, by specifying a new SLICE, will cause the tool to attempt to place the cell onto the B6LUT in the new SLICE. If this BEL site is currently occupied, an error is returned.
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.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
