The NetBom EndPoint Verify Operation Enables the user to validate Connections made to a list of Endpoints in the selected netlist. NetBom can compare the NetNames and (coming soon:Properties like Voltage) attached to the Pins/Wires of each selected Endpoint to the values in a PinReport File.
The Pin Report 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 FPGAS, Connectors or ASICS in the design
Use Case
Lets say you have a board design with 2 FPGAS named U1, U3, a large ASIC named U11 and 4 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 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
It will provide a match score using a proprietary Fuzzy Matching algorithm for the netNames between the 2 designs
