FABulous.fabric_definition.Fabric#

FPGA fabric definition module.

This module contains the Fabric class which represents the complete FPGA fabric including tile layout, configuration parameters, and connectivity information. The fabric is the top-level container for all tiles, BELs, and routing resources.

Classes#

class Fabric[source]#

Store the configuration of a fabric.

All the information is parsed from the CSV file.

tile[source]#

The tile map of the fabric

Type:

list[list[Tile]]

name[source]#

The name of the fabric

Type:

str

numberOfRows[source]#

The number of rows of the fabric

Type:

int

numberOfColumns[source]#

The number of columns of the fabric

Type:

int

configMitMode#

The configuration bit mode of the fabric. Currently supports frame based or ff chain

Type:

ConfigBitMode

frameBitsPerRow[source]#

The number of frame bits per row of the fabric

Type:

int

maxFramesPerCol[source]#

The maximum number of frames per column of the fabric

Type:

int

package[source]#

The extra package used by the fabric. Only useful for VHDL output.

Type:

str

generateDelayInSwitchMatrix[source]#

The amount of delay in a switch matrix.

Type:

int

multiplexerStyle[source]#

The style of the multiplexer used in the fabric. Currently supports custom or generic

Type:

MultiplexerStyle

frameSelectWidth[source]#

The width of the frame select signal.

Type:

int

rowSelectWidth[source]#

The width of the row select signal.

Type:

int

desync_flag[source]#

The flag indicating desynchronization status, used to manage timing issues within the fabric.

Type:

int

numberOfBRAMs[source]#

The number of BRAMs in the fabric.

Type:

int

superTileEnable[source]#

Whether the fabric has super tile.

Type:

bool

tileDic[source]#

A dictionary of tiles used in the fabric. The key is the name of the tile and the value is the tile.

Type:

dict[str, Tile]

superTileDic[source]#

A dictionary of super tiles used in the fabric. The key is the name of the supertile and the value is the supertile.

Type:

dict[str, SuperTile]

unusedTileDic[source]#

A dictionary of tiles that are not used in the fabric, but defined in the fabric.csv. The key is the name of the tile and the value is the tile.

Type:

dict[str, Tile]

unusedSuperTileDic[source]#

A dictionary of super tiles that are not used in the fabric, but defined in the fabric.csv. The key is the name of the tile and the value is the tile.

Type:

dict[str, Tile]

Methods:

getAllUniqueBels()[source]#

Get all unique BELs from all tiles in the fabric.

Returns:

A list of all unique BELs across all tiles.

Return type:

list[Bel]

getBelsByTileXY(x, y)[source]#

Get all the Bels of a tile.

Parameters:

  • x (int) – The x coordinate of / column the tile.

  • y (int) – The y coordinate / row of the tile.

Returns:

A list of Bels in the tile.

Return type:

list[Bel]

Raises:

ValueError – Tile coordinates are out of range.

getSuperTileByName(name)[source]#

Get a supertile by its name from the fabric.

Searches for the supertile first in the used supertiles dictionary, then in the unused supertiles dictionary if not found.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the supertile to retrieve.

Returns:

The super tile object if found.

Return type:

SuperTile | None

Raises:

KeyError – If the super tile name is not found in either used or unused super tiles.

getTileByName(name)[source]#

Get a tile by its name from the fabric.

Search for the tile first in the used tiles dictionary, then in the unused tiles dictionary if not found.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the tile to retrieve.

Returns:

The tile object if found.

Return type:

Tile | None

Raises:

KeyError – If the tile name is not found in either used or unused tiles.
