How to integrate my own packing algorithm for ALM in QUIP

From QUIP, it says we can write our own packing tool.

But now, I have my own technology mapping method and packing algorithm which is packing LUTs into ALMs for Stratix II device.

The output of my packing algorithm is ALMs with specified LUT(s) from my mapped result.

Does anyone know how to feed Quartus my packing result so that it can do the rest work like Place and route and then analyze the power or do other analysis for me?

Thanks!!!

Kai

    i'm not sure if the VQM file format is documented, but that's where i'd start

    Thank for your reply, thepancake :)

    But I studied the VQM file format (Vqmx_doc.pdf included with QUIP), didn't find any detail information about packing LUTs... :(
