But that's the problem - HDL like Verilog and VHDL are not simple netlist descriptions, but instead a weirdly abstracted away behavioural definition of a circuit that synthesizes into a netlist using tons of (sometimes automagical) heuristics.
- AshamedCaptain 7y agoThey are not "simple netlist descriptions", but they can be used like one. This is what usually one understands when you use the words "RTL" and "Verilog" interchangeably, because when you start with the automagical stuff, you'll find out most P&R tools _cannot_ actually accept those.
