Extracting FPGA architecture file from Chip Planner

I am playing around with Agilex device(AGRB014R24A3E3VR0).

I found that the device looks really regular; the left three clock sectors are

almost identical and the right three clock sectors are almost identical.

Is there any way to extract resource composition from Chip Planner?

For instance, I noticed that there's "Find" functionality that if I try to find

"LAB*", it outputs all the LABs. I wonder if there's way to export this find output

as a file.

Also, I guess there should be some hardware architecture file for all the devices.

If I can extract resource distribution for a certain device from such file,

that would be helpful too.

Thanks.

    Sorry, there isn't any such option available to export the information from Chipplanner.

      @Ash_R_Intel

      Thanks for the reply.

      It's sad that what we can easily get from the gui isn't available as a script ;-(

      The feature should be really useful to analyze the device.

    Hi,


    The general architecture description for a device is provided in the documentation for the device and there is a whole bunch of them based on which type of resource you are looking for. For Agilex 7, please refer to the following documentation page:


    https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/products/details/fpga/agilex/7/docs.html


    Feel free to apply filter based on the area of documentation.


    You can find information on where each of you design block is placed from the _fit.rpt.


    Regards

    Thanks for the reply.

    My question was, how can we extract resource composition of a specific device.

    Below is a screenshot of a sample Agilex 7 series device, and the resource columns(from left to right) are

    HSSI AIBND RX, LAB, LAB, LAB, LAB, M20K, LAB, and so on.

    I wonder if there's a way to extract this info without hand-extracting from the Chip Planner.
