Place and Route Overview

After you create a Native Circuit Description (NCD) file with the MAP program, you can place and route that design file using PAR. PAR accepts a mapped NCD file as input, places and routes the design, and outputs an NCD file to be used by the bitstream generator (BitGen). See Chapter 14, “BitGen”.

The NCD file output by PAR can also be used as a guide file for additional runs of PAR that may be done after making minor changes to your design. See the “Guided PAR” section of this chapter for more information on using guide files.
