The NetBom EndPoint Verify Operation Enables operation enables the user to validate Connections connections made to a list of Endpoints endpoints in the selected netlist. NetBom can compare the NetNames and (coming soon:Properties like Voltage) net names and properties such as voltage attached to the Pinspins/Wires wires of each selected Endpoint endpoint to the values in a PinReport FilePin Report file.
The Pin Report File file can be an FPGA Pin Report from Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice and , MicroChip/Microsemi, or (coming soon: a generic spreadsheet detailing the connections and other properties for each pin of the device).
The common usage of this is to verify connections made to FPGASFPGAs, connectors, Connectors or ASICS ASICs in the design.
Use Case
Lets Let's say you have a board design with 2 FPGAS named U1, U3, a large ASIC named U11 and 4 2 DIMM Connectors named J1a, J1b, J1c and J1d.
You can use the EndPoint Verify GUI to configure Settings for
The EP_COMPARE_CONFIG can also provide a Pin Connection Map if the cards connect through a cable that is not mapped 1:1.
...
Next You run the EndPoint Compare Operationsettings for each endpoint (see image below).
Next, you run the EndPoint Verify operation.
NetBom will build a spreadsheet and an interactive HTML webpage report comparing the NetNames that are connected to the same pin (or remapped_pin) of each Endpoint web report (EndPoint Verify Report) comparing the net names in the netlist to the names in the Pin Report file for the same endpoint pin of each configured endpoint.
It will provide a match score using a proprietary Fuzzy Matching algorithm for the netNames net names between the 2 designs.
