1.3.4.2 Floorplanning with MVN

Following are the steps for floorplanning with MVN:

1. Create a new region. In the Design Flow tab, right click Floorplan Constraints and choose Open Interactively to open ChipPlanner.
2. From the Region, menu choose Create Inclusive/Exclusive.
3. Assign and constrain all your block macros to this region.
   • Click and drag to create a region.
   • Select all instances except the BLOCK_INTERFACE_I* instances added by Libero.
   • Right click and choose Assign all Instances.
   • From the File menu, choose Commit and Check.
4. Create a separate region; it must be outside the region created in the preceding steps. Assign and constrain all the BLOCK_INTERFACE_I* instances (added by Libero) to this separate region. Use the prefix BLOCK_INTERFACE_I* to search for all the block interface instances. Do not use exclusive regions for the block interface instances; they may limit the usage of the clusters in the top design.
5. Ensure that the new regions you created do not overlap with the existing regions.
6. From the File menu, choose Commit and Check.
