Sometimes routing fails with only a few overused routing resource nodes. This often indicates a problem with the architecture input and output pin connectivity or switch pattern, often on specific blocks only. It would be useful to get more information about which routing resource nodes are overused in such cases.
Proposed Behaviour
We should have a new command line option --set_max_overused_rr_node_report (can't think of a shorter name!) that defaults to 20. Up to this many overused_rr_nodes should have their details printed if routing fails.
Current Behaviour
We say how many nodes are overused, and by clicking the congestion button you can see them in the GUI, but no details are reported.
Possible Solution
Make the command line option above. It should print a nicely formatted part of the log file with a table like:
rr index type (IPIN, OPIN, CHANX, ...) (x,y) coordinates (or start and end (x,y) if not the same) ptc (pin, or track number), ... (other helpful info you can think of, such as the segment type name if it's a wire and the name of the block type (clb, M20k, ...) if it is a block.
Context
When a circuit fails with a few overused rr-nodes it is hard to figure out why, even though it's usually a localized architecture problem. See #1448 for an example.
