PART(10.1) PART(10.1)
NAME
part - configure common programmable logic devices
SYNOPSIS
part [ options ] [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
Part accepts logic functions described by minterm(10.6) as
input and attempts to implement them with programmable logic
devices. It assigns pins partitioning them over multiple
devices if necessary. In the case that a single device is
sufficient, part produces two output files filename.m and
filename.p. The first is used by xpal (10.1) for program-
ming the device; the second contains pin assignment informa-
tion. In the case of multiple devices filename.nnm and
filename.nnp files are generated, where nn are integers
between 0 and the number of devices minus one. In the case
of multiple devices, a filename.j giving a schematic repre-
sentation of how the devices are connected in graw(10.1)
format is also produced.
The options are:
-t device_type
use device_type as the target device programmable logic
device. By default, part uses the type on the .x line
of the lde_format(10.6) source file if present.
-N n Iterate at most n times (default is 5).
-M n Iterate an additional n times after successfully fit-
ting the equations to the target devices.
-p Use the pin assignments in the pin assignment files.
