The Link Model setting controls how out-of-context (OOC) modules and design checkpoint (DCP) sources are represented in the elaborated design. Select one of the following options:
- Use RTL model for OOC modules & Netlist model for DCP
-
- Generates targets for OOC IP (if not already generated).
- Pulls RTL sources from the generated output directory.
- Shows the actual RTL elaborated view for OOC modules without requiring full OOC synthesis runs.
- Links DCP sources using their synthesized netlist.
- Use RTL model for OOC modules & Blackbox model for DCP
-
- Generates targets for OOC IP (if not already generated).
- Pulls RTL sources from the generated output directory.
- Shows the actual RTL elaborated view for OOC modules without requiring full OOC synthesis runs.
- Treats DCP sources as black boxes using stub files.
- Use Netlist model for both OOC modules & DCP
-
- Launches OOC synthesis runs for all the OOC modules.
- Stitches the synthesized netlist into the elaborated design.
- Links DCP sources using their synthesized netlist.
- Default behavior recommended for full netlist consistency.
- Use Blackbox model for both OOC modules & DCP
-
- Launches OOC synthesis runs for all the OOC modules.
- Stitches stub files (black boxes) into the elaborated design.
- Treats DCP sources as black boxes using stub files.
- Useful for quick structural exploration without netlist details.
