place and route data output

Hello,

Given a design in verilog, is it possible to view the routing information of my design on an fpga?

What I'm after is placement information (which LE blocks are connected to eachother)

and routing data (which tracks and interconnect switches are used to connect the logic element blocks)

    You can use the "chip planner" under the tools menu or if you just want to see the logical hookups the "technology map viewer" under tools->netlist viewers

    Hope that helped

    Thanks for the reply,

    The chip planner tells me too little information about the routing.

    I require track number and interconnect switch coordinates.

    Chip planner is fine for LAB location, but for routing, it tells me nothing except for which blocks are connected to eachother.

    No there is an option called show physical routing .

    It will show you the total hops and how actually the routing was done.

    Now even if you want more then during report timing by time quest enable the option show_routing_details and it will show you the whole routing in the timing reports.

    Good luck

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm confused.

    Is there an option called "show physical routing"?

    If so, where is it? I'm unable to find documentation on this feature.
