initial commit: adding main files used for new feature
Srivat97
committed
added main data structures and their initializer functions. Also added a destructor
Srivat97
committed
adding command line support for users to provide names of new primitive block types
Srivat97
committed
added a new data structure to store port direction as well
Srivat97
committed
updated command line input parser to allow for hard block names that are escaped
Srivat97
committed
made changes to indicate that users would supply hard block type names, not specific hard block instance names
Srivat97
committed
added functionality to parse hard block information from node names found in the vqm file
Srivat97
committed
can recognize duplicate module names from cmd line and added functionality to parse nodes that represent hard block ports in vqm netlist
Srivat97
committed
adding functionality to create empty hard blocks instances and attach them to existing module node array. ALso added functionality to quikly find newly created hard block instances (their node in t…
Srivat97
committed
added a function to dynamically create a t_array_ref struct
Srivat97
committed
added check for LUTs representing hard block output ports. Also added functionality to assign nets to newly created hard block instance ports.
Srivat97
committed
fixed error where LUT identifier in vqm file was incorrect
Srivat97
committed
Fixed logic error with identifying LUT primitives representing hard block output ports. Also fixed some naming conventions (hard block model -> hard block type)
Srivat97
committed
added functionality to identify error case where a hard block instance port has multiple nets connected to it. Also, now the number of assigned ports for each hard block instance is properly tracked.
Srivat97
committed
updated error messages
Srivat97
committed
instead of identifying the net when connecting the net to the hard block instance port, we identify the port connected to the net, this way we can also extract wire index information when assigning…
Srivat97
committed
forgot to update the module node list after adding all the newly created hards block instances
Srivat97
committed
updated hard block port indices for ports that were not a bus so that they would correctly indicate that the port was not a bus
Srivat97
committed
cleaned up main program and integrated new hard block type support into program flow
Srivat97
committed
added support so that the unnecessary LUTs and D flip flop nodes that repersent hard blocks ports can be removed from the module now
Srivat97
committed
added a check that verifies whether all the ports of each and every hard block in the netlist has a net assigned to it
Srivat97
committed
inserted additional logging while executing the new primitive block support feature
Srivat97
committed
fixed bug where a design that had no hard blocks would fail with the new primitive hard block support feature
Srivat97
committed
improved overall code documentation
Srivat97
committed
privatized local functions
