This chapter explains the different types of reports you can generate.
- General Reports covers various netlist-based reports, along with power analysis and design rule checks (DRC).
- Timing Reports covers all reports related to timing constraints.
- Timing Closure Reports covers reports used in the design closure phase. Although they include both timing and netlist-based analysis, they focus on how these two aspects interact to create timing closure challenges.
This chapter describes reporting commands you run with Tcl, from the console on an open design or from a run script. For instructions on adding these commands to project runs, see Configurable Report Strategies.
Tip: For more help with the
command line and options for any reporting command, type
report_name -help. For example, report_drc
-help.
