Bitstream translation

The routing process results in an output file specifying the used blocks
|
||
|
|
and routing paths. It contains the resources that needs to be instantiated
|
||
|
|
on the FPGA chip, however, the output format is not understood
|
||
|
|
by the FPGA chip itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the last step, the description of the chip is translated into
|
||
|
|
the appropriate format, suitable for the chosen FPGA.
|
||
|
|
That final file contains instructions readable by the configuration block of
|
||
|
|
the desired chip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Documenting the bitstream format for different FPGA chips is one of the
|
||
|
|
most important tasks in the F4PGA Project!
