JRoute: A Run-Time Routing API for FPGA Hardware
نویسنده
چکیده
JRoute is a set of Java classes that provide an application programming interface (API) for routing of Xilinx FPGA devices. The interface allows various levels of control from connecting two routing resources to automated routing of a net with fanout. This API also handles ports, which are useful when designing object oriented macro circuits or cores. Each core can define its own ports, which can then be used in calls to the router. Debug support for circuits is also available. Finally, the routing API has an option to unroute a circuit. Built on JBits, the JRoute API provides access to routing resources in a Xilinx FPGA architecture. Currently the Virtex family is supported.

An FPGA Wire Database for Run-Time Routers
Routing flexibility improves as FPGAs increase in size and density. While advantageous for applications, the routing resource software model requires significant hard disk and memory resources. As a result, run-time routers tend to devise alternate solutions to the flat graph model used by FPGA tools in order to accomodate the limited memory available in run-time systems. JBits, a run-time reco...
