Generation of a circuit design from a command language specification of blocks in matrix form

摘要

Generation of a circuit design using a command language. The various approaches include generating in a memory arrangement respective instances of design blocks in response to user-entered commands that specify creation of the instances. Matrix-relative positions of the instances of design blocks are established in the memory arrangement in response to at least one user-entered command that specifies respective matrix positions of the instances. Representative connections between the instances are generated in the memory arrangement in response to a user-entered command having no specification of the connections.
