(By default specify .. endspecify blocks are ignored.) +- The module attribute ``abc_box_id`` specifies a positive integer linking a + blackbox or whitebox definition to a corresponding entry in a `abc9` + box-file. + +- The port attribute ``abc_scc_break`` indicates a module input port that will + be treated as a primary output during `abc9` techmapping. Doing so eliminates + the possibility of a strongly-connected component (i.e. a combinatorial loop) + existing. Typically, this is specified for sequential inputs on otherwise + combinatorial boxes -- for example, applying ``abc_scc_break`` onto the `D` + port of a LUTRAM cell prevents `abc9` from interpreting any `Q` -> `D` paths + as a combinatorial loop. + +- The port attribute ``abc_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and + carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for + `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute + onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit. + Non-standard or SystemVerilog features for formal verification ============================================================== |
