Overview

The ChipViewer tool provides a graphical view of the fitting report. With this tool you can examine inputs and outputs, macrocell details, equations, and pin assignments. You can examine both pre-fitting and post-fitting results.

Pre-fitting Examination

The pre-fitting examination looks at the contents of the .ngd file, the design netlist. In this view you can get basic I/O information and make pin assignments that you can pin-lock. You can also modify the contents of your .ucf file.

Post-fitting Examination

The post-fitting examination looks at the contents of the .vm6 file, the fitting result. Here you can examine final results, including:
