Usage
Name | Description |
---|---|

[-of_objects]
|
Get the bels of these slr, tiles, sites, cells, clock_regions, nets or pseudo pips. |
[-include_routing_bels]
|
Also look for and include matching rbels. |
[-include_routethru_bels]
|
Also look for and include routethru bels |
[-net_segment_only]
|
Only look for the given net segment. |

Suspend message limits during command execution |
[<patterns>]
|
Match bels against patterns Default: * |
Description
Basic Elements, or BELs, are building blocks of logic, such as flip-flops, LUTs, and carry logic, that make up a SLICE. This command returns a list of BELs on the target part that match a specified search pattern in an open design.
The default command gets a list of all BELs on the device.
get_*
commands return a container list of a single type of objects (e.g. cells, nets, pins, or ports). You can add new objects to the list (using lappend
for instance), but you can only add the same type of object that is currently in the list. Adding a different type of object, or string, to the list is not permitted and will result in a Tcl error.
Arguments
-regexp
- (Optional) Specifies that the search <patterns> are written as regular expressions. Both search <patterns> and -filter
expressions must be written as regular expressions when this argument is used. Xilinx® regular expression Tcl commands are always anchored to the start of the search string. You can add ".*" to the beginning or end of a search string to widen the search to include a substring. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html for help with regular expression syntax.
regexp
is not anchored, and works as a standard Tcl command. For more information refer to http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/regexp.htm.
-nocase
- (Optional) Perform case-insensitive matching when a pattern has been specified. This argument applies to the use of -regexp
only.
-filter
<args> - (Optional) Filter the results list with the specified expression. The -filter
argument filters the list of objects returned by get_bels
based on property values on the BELs. You can find the properties on an object with the report_property
or list_property
commands. Any property/value pair can be used as a filter. In the case of the BEL object, "IS_OCCUPIED" and "TYPE" are two of the properties that can be used to filter results.
get_pins * -filter {DIRECTION == IN && NAME !~ "*RESET*"}
bool
) type properties can be directly evaluated in filter expressions as true or not true: -filter {IS_PRIMITIVE && !IS_LOC_FIXED}
-of_objects
<args> - (Optional) Get the BELs associated with the specified cells, nets, sites, clock_regions, or slrs.
-of_objects
option requires objects to be specified using the get_*
commands, such as get_cells
or get_pins
, rather than specifying objects by name. In addition, -of_objects
cannot be used with a search <pattern>
.
-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.
set_msg_config
command.<patterns> - (Optional) Match BELs against the specified patterns. The default pattern is the wildcard '*' which gets a list of all BELs on the device. More than one search pattern can be specified to find BELs based on different search criteria.
Examples
The following example returns the total number of BELs on the target part:
llength [get_bels]
The following example returns the BELs associated with the specified site:
get_bels -of_objects [get_sites PHASER_IN_PHY_X0Y5]
