place and route big blocks
I'm a newbie. Please help!
I've finished the verilog coding for a chip consisting of several big blocks. SOC encounter offers partition approach of place and route. The doc says there are top-down or bottom-up approaches. It seems to be easier for me to go bottom-up approach.
My question is: When I work on each block, do I need to finish complete place and route including power planning and CTS before I move to top-level chip assembly? If so how to do power planning on block level?
The encounter doc is very unclear on block level place and route. Is there a nice tutorial on this issue?
Thanks very much!
