Raw binary file format

Hi all, I'm looking for documentation for the Raw binary file format and Tabular Text file format. Is this freely available, or will I have to talk to Altera directly?

I never attempted to run the entire CAD flow from HDL design to bitstream.

When I experimented with the tool, I concluded that it did not serve my purpose and so I stopped using it.

VPR generates 3 files:

.place for placement

.route for routing

.net for the final netlist after the P&R algorithm runs.

There's a tool created by the EECG group at the University of Toronto which converts .net files to .vqm

This tool is the nettovqm tool. (net-to-vqm)
