I mean no need for real fpga to implement it in real time

What type of problems you guys think I can face that can be fixed inside a netlist file ? Am I supposed to be worried about this file or you guys think I dont need to worry about this file once it is automatically generated? Im asking this because I want to know If there are cases when I need to manually change what is inside this file. Thank you!

Why would you change anything in a netlist file?

That was my original question :)

You need to read the whole thread where me and Engineer talk about it.

to understand why we were talking about that.

Where is this thread?

I'm pretty sure that you can perform any change in the netlist with proper RTL code, synthesis attributes, constraints and synthesis settings

omg, im so sorry for that.

I wrote for you as If I were in the channel where this thread happened.

let met take the link.

There is a step known as Engineering Change Order, ECO. This is when there is a requirement to change or fix the functionality of the netlist. Doing it by hand is very painful depending on the size of the patch that needs to be applied. You need to do Logical Equivalence Checking, LEC which is faster than doing a netlist simulation, to make sure the generated netlist is functionally equivalent to the RTL HDL code. But you still do need to do gate level simulations which can take a long time as LEC cannot catch everything. However, your question does not seem to understand, the vast costs involved in having a dead design back from the fab.

this is the start of the thread. since I cannot send a link directly to the thread it is in this channel:

Could you please formulate your questions, what sort of changes do you need to perform in the netlist ?

It doesn't make a lot of fun to jump over inconsistent threads

Im sorry Konstantin, since the previous thread I mention already triggered on me a lot of things... I cannot continue in this for now. Anyways I appreciate your help. thank you!

Yw

Guys Im new to this world. My head is blowing right now.

doing my homework here. I will come back for sure :)
