Command Reference2.  FPGA Express Shell Commandsset_chip_max_fanout


_N_A_M_E
          set_chip_max_fanout
                         Set the maximum fanout for all the cells
                         in the chip.


SYNTAX
          string set_chip_max_fanout [-_r_e_g_i_s_t_e_r] [_M_A_X__F_A_N_O_U_T]

          integer _M_A_X__F_A_N_O_U_T


ARGUMENTS
          -_r_e_g_i_s_t_e_r      Required to indicate registers will be
                         the target cells in the current chip.

          _M_A_X__F_A_N_O_U_T     The maximum number for fanout of each
                         register in the current chip.


DESCRIPTION
          This command duplicates all registers in the chip that
          have fanout number greater than the number _M_A_X__F_A_N_O_U_T.
          The user needs to specify -_r_e_g_i_s_t_e_r option as only
          registers are duplicated.

          The current chip must be defined by using the command
          current_chip before executing this command, otherwise
          an error will be reported.

          The set_chip_max_fanout command must be issued on an
          unoptimized chip -- prior to issuing the optimize_chip
          command.

EXAMPLES
          The maximum fanout of 14 is set for all the registers
          in the chip.

          fe_shell > set_chip_max_fanout -register 14
