6659 - Diamond 3.12 and All FPGA: Is it normal for the placement and routing, and in turn, the generated bitstream, to change when a part of the RTL is changed, even if it wouldn't change the overall logic?
Description:
Diamond software just checks ANY changes in the RTL for it to change its seed.
Solution:
Yes. The software generates a new PAR seed every time a change is made to the design RTL, regardless of the change's impact on the overall logic of the design.

Solution: Yes, there is, even if a small modification happens in source code whether its a logic change or a code clean up, the Lattice Diamond considers them as a source code change and will run the complete implementation flow to view the Floor ...

The bitstream file size increases even with a small modification. The bitstream comprises both fuse data frames (SRAM configuration bits) and EBR initialization information. Fuse data frame size is fixed for the given device irrespective of how huge ...

Diamond: ECP2: In a LatticeECP2/M, the primary clocks, whether they're global or quadrant, get their sources through a center MUX. The number of generic routing signals that can get onto the center MUX is 10. These 10 signals come from FPGA routing ...
