Re: Mpins in Magma
Hi,
Model pins are your design top module pins not macro pins or stdcell pins, as you cant change or apply any constraints to the pin placement for hard macros or stdcell. Design top module is the main module in netlist (i.e. in magma /work/top/top -- so top is your main module) and for the pins of this main module you can define constraints for placement.
In magma there is one command "force plan pin" which you can use for defining pin layer, pin width, height, side etc..and so during "run plan create pin" command will honour these constraints for pin placement. Pls refer the manpages for these commands.
Hope this will clear your doubt.
Thanks..
HAK..
