unravelnets [-p] [-ignoreBuses] [-unused] [-useLayers] [-ignoreTraces] [-offConcurrency] [-crossLevel <value>] [-components <value ...>] [-items <value ...>]
Unravels connections between components (used for both FPGA and layout databases). By default (without switches) optimization minimizes number of crossings. It does not use unused pins and does not unravel buses concurrently. It does not optimize on different layers separately. It optimizes for all signals. When optimizing the layout database, it optimizes all components if possible.
Arguments:
-p — signifies that items provided are pins not signals.
-ignoreBuses — unravels scalars and busses concurrently.
-unused — use unused pins for unraveling.
-useLayers — unravel on different layers separately, used only in Xpedition (supported only in layout database).
-ignoreTraces — ignores connections through traces not finished with “Route Targets” (supported only in layout database).
-offConcurrency — limits unraveling to only a single selected FPGA, so as to not consume a multi-chip license.
-crossLevel — No longer used - left for backward compatibility.
-components — refDes’ of components to be unraveled (not important for FPGA database because there's only one component) - if not provided, IOD unravels all FPGA components on the layout.
-items — signal names or pin numbers connected to the nets that need to be unraveled. Not used when unraveling more than 1 component.
