There are two TCL scripts named PreRoute.tcl
and PostRoute.tcl
.
- The pre-route script is reponsible for generating the placed design
Pre_route_checkpoint.dcp
file. - The post-route script generates SLR and per-block utilization and power estimation reports along with the routed design
Post_route_checkpoint.dcp
file.
Please note that Vivado could be used to open the design checkpoint files (*.dcp
) to further explore the design implementation space. Open Vivado and choose File: Checkpoint: Open
menu to import the desired checkpoint file.
The power estimation reports are generated in two formats (*.txt
and *.rpx
). The interactive report file (*.rpx
) could be opened using the following Vivado TCL command: open_report -file <path to *.rpx> -name myreport
.
