| Name | Description |
|---|---|
[-file]
|
Filename to output results to. (send output to console if -file is not used) |
[-append]
|
Append the results to file, don't overwrite the results file |
[-name]
|
Output the results to GUI panel with this name |
[-return_string]
|
return report as string |
[-endpoints_only]
|
dump clock network endpoints only; Not to be used in conjunction with -levels option |
[-levels]
|
expands clock network upto n levels of instances, Value: n > 0; Not to be used in conjunction with -endpoints_only option Default: 0 |
[-expand_buckets]
|
expands bucketed endpoints and displays pins; By default, endpoint pins are bucketed by celltype; This option only works in conjunction with -levels option or -endpoints_only option |
[-suppress_endpoints]
|
suppress paths to clock or nonclock endpoint pins; Values: clock, nonclock |
[-clocks]
|
List of clocks for clock network dump; if not specified, all clock networks are dumped |
[-unconstrained_roots]
|
List of unconstrained root pins/ports for clock network dump; if not specified, all unconstrained clock roots are dumped |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
Description
Reports the network fanout of each clock net in the open synthesized or implemented design. The graphical form of the report, returned when the -name argument is specified, provides a hierarchical tree view of the clock network.
The default report simply specifies the clock net names and the instance pins that are the startpoint of the clock.
The report is returned to the standard output unless the -file, -return_string, or -name arguments are specified.
Arguments
-file <arg> - (Optional) Write the clock network report into the specified file. The specified file will be overwritten if one already exists, unless -append is also specified.
-append - (Optional) Append the output of the command to the specified file rather than overwriting it.
-append option can only be used with the -file option.
-name <arg> - (Optional) Specifies the name of the results to output to the GUI.
-return_string - (Optional) Directs the output to a Tcl string. The Tcl string can be captured by a variable definition and parsed or otherwise processed.
-file option.
-endpoints_only - (Optional) Report the clock network endpoints; bucketed by cell type, and sorted by clock pins and non-clock pins. This option cannot be specified with the -levels option.
-levels <arg> - (Optional) Expands the clock network through the specified levels of instances. The default value is 0. The specified value can be greater than 0. This reports the clock path to the path endpoints if enough levels are specified. Path endpoints are bucketed by cell type, and sorted by clock pins and non-clock pins. This option cannot be used with the -endpoints_only option.
-expand_buckets - (Optional) Expand the clock network report to expand all of the endpoints buckets returned by the -endpoints_only or -levels options, to report all of the clock endpoints.
-suppress_endpoints [ clock | nonclock ] - (Optional) Suppress reported paths from clock root to clock pins or non-clock endpoint pins. This option eliminates either clock or non-clock pins from the clock network report.
-clocks <args> - (Optional) Specify the clock objects to include in the clock network report. When not specified, the report includes all clocks.
-unconstrained_roots <args> - (Optional) For UltraScale devices, and device architectures with clock roots, specify the list of unconstrained clock root pins or ports to include in the clock network report. If this option is not specified, all unconstrained clock roots are reported.
-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.
