| <pre>Replace sub-module in the design by a new re-synthesized sub-module netlist and write to a new top netlist | |
| <b>Usage:</b> replace_sub_module_netlist($new_top_netlist_file); | |
| $new_top_netlist_file: The replaced and new top level full netlist to be written out | |
| <b>Examples:</b> | |
| #1. Replace sub-module 'mem_controller', 'ahb_arb' hierarchically, and 'mem_ahb_top' module, and write out to a new full netlist | |
| read_library("tsmc.lib"); | |
| read_design("-imp", "top_ref.gv"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_mem_controller.gv", "-module", "mem_controller"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_ahb_arb.gv", "-module", "ahb_arb"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_mem_ahb_top.v", "-module", "mem_ahb_top", "-sub_only"); | |
| replace_sub_module_netlist("new_top_ref.gv"); | |
| #2. Replace sub-module 'mem_controller', 'ahb_arb' hierarchically in netlist and SVF, replace 'mem_ahb_top' module only, | |
| and write out to a new full SVF file and a new netlist | |
| read_library("tsmc.lib"); | |
| read_svf("-imp", "top_ref.svf"); | |
| read_design("-imp", "top_ref.gv"); | |
| read_sub_module_svf("new_mem_controller.svf", "-module", "mem_controller"); | |
| read_sub_module_svf("new_ahb_arb.svf", "-module", "ahb_arb"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_mem_controller.gv", "-module", "mem_controller"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_ahb_arb.gv", "-module", "ahb_arb"); | |
| read_sub_module_netlist("new_mem_ahb_top.v", "-module", "mem_ahb_top", "-sub_only"); # This module is parent module with instantiation only | |
| replace_sub_module_netlist("new_top_ref.gv"); # Run netlist replacement first | |
| replace_sub_module_svf("new_top_ref.svf"); # Then SVF replacement | |
