Use the following instructions to create a dataflow design.
- Open a synthesized or implemented design.
- Open the dataflow design by using one of the following options:
- In the interface, click
- In the Flow Navigator, select Open Dataflow Design under either Open Synthesized Design or Open Implemented Design. This option carries
the flow forward as needed. The tool generates the netlist based on the
active run.
- From the Tcl interface, use the command
create_dataflow_design.
- In the interface, click
Make sure a design is open before running this command. When a design is
placed or routed, cell locations that remain in the dataflow netlist are copied and
shown in the device view.
Note: Location changes
made after netlist creation do not update automatically. To reflect those changes,
regenerate the dataflow netlist.
You can simplify the netlist further by increasing the value of the
-min_bus_width option. The default is 16. Setting it to a
higher value removes smaller buses and produces a more simplified netlist. The following
is an example:
create_dataflow_design -min_bus_width 128
