get_dfx_footprint
utility to
highlight placement and routing footprints for the Reconfigurable Partitions. This
utility is available for all architectures newer than 7 series.- In the Tcl Console, issue the following
commands:
highlight_objects -color green [get_dfx_footprint -route -of_objects [get_cells inst_shift]]
- Next, issue the following
commands:
highlight_objects -color blue [get_dfx_footprint -place -of_objects [get_cells inst_shift]] highlight_objects -color blue [get_dfx_footprint -place -of_objects [get_cells inst_count]]
The partition frames appear highlighted in the Device view, as shown in the following figure.
These highlighted tiles represent the configuration frames used for placement (blue) and routing (green) for each RM. The green tiles are sent to bitstream generation to create the partial bitstream (for inst_shift). The SNAPPING_MODE feature adjusted three of four edges of pblock_shift to account for alignment to programmable unit boundaries. This snapping behavior explains why it appears that static logic may appear to have been placed inside Reconfigurable Partitions, as seen in prior steps. In actuality, the effective boundary is one CLB row higher than the user-defined Pblock boundary indicates, so this static logic is placed correctly. This effective boundary can also be seen in the shading of the Pblock during creation, as shown in Step 5: Build the Design Floorplan.
Note: RCLK rows matching the width of the Pblocks are included. Global clocks driving logic in these Reconfigurable Partitions are connected to the spines running through these rows and are enabled or disabled during Dynamic Function eXchange. - Close the current
