Explanations

High-level Code Overview

FPAA programming steps:

1. Python \(\rightarrow\) Verilog (new_converter.py)
   • We want to replace with asic_compile.py in the future.
2. Verilog \(\rightarrow\) Blif (verilog2blif.py)
3. Generate pad information (gen_pads.30a.py)
4. Blif \(\rightarrow\) Switchlist (blif_to_switches.py)
   • Runs placement (VPR)
   • Generates switchlist
5. Switchlist \(\rightarrow\) Assembly (Make_ProgramList_CompileAssembly)
6. Programm FPAA (program_fpaa.py)

Many scripts call lower-level functions from rasp30, such as - TCL scripts for programming MSP430 - Architecture scripts that describe FPAA for VPR
