FloorPlan Visualizer

This script implements simple floorplanning visualization using SVG images.

The visualizer uses the information stored in each Verilog object to perform shaping and placement of each block. but there is no explicit routing performed, all the edges are connected from point to point.

Detail of properties of different objects

On Definitions

SHAPE = Shape of the module [Rect (Default), cross, custom]

• Parameters for Rect

  • WIDTH and HEIGHT = The rectangular dimension of the module

• Parameters for cross

  • A, B , C , D , E, F = Dimensions of the rectilinear block (as show in figure below)

• Parameters for custom

  • It is represented by a sequence of numbers <Start_direction(V/H)> <FirstPoint (int int)> <Sequence of vertical and horizontal distance>, and the last point connects to the start point automatically

  • For example following example creates rectangle: V 0 0 10 20 20

On Instances

LOC_X and LOC_Y = Location of the component with respect to its parent

Ports Placement:

SIDE: Shape size where module port is placed [left/right/bottom/top]

SIDE2: Optional and valid only when shape in cross [left/right/bottom/top]

OFFSET: Offset from the origin of that side The first point on the respective side in a clockwise direction is considered as the origin

    Representing SIDE/SIDE2 parameters

TODO Add Some sort of coordinate transformation which scaleX and scaleY. All the inputs are in multiple SC_HEIGHT and SC_WIDTH, a default value of these variables is set to 1

Overview

class spydrnet_physical.util.FloorPlanViz(definition, viewbox=(0, 0, 1000, 1000))

Implmenetation of SVG Visualiser floorplan_visualizer

Attributes:

PIN_H
PIN_W
custom_style_sheet	Return custom styles added in this visualiazer

Methods:

__init__	Initialise the class with definition to render.
compose	Entry point to generate final SVG file
add_top_block	Adds top level block in the design
add_symbol	Inserts symbols in the SVG file
add_block	Iterates over each instance and adds them in SVG file
