| ##################### | |
| The routing process results in an output file specifying the used blocks | |
| and routing paths. It contains the resources that needs to be instantiated | |
| on the FPGA chip, however, the output format is not understood | |
| by the FPGA chip itself. | |
| In the last step, the description of the chip is translated into | |
| the appropriate format, suitable for the chosen FPGA. | |
| That final file contains instructions readable by the configuration block of | |
| the desired chip. | |
| Documenting the bitstream format for different FPGA chips is one of the | |
| most important tasks in the F4PGA Project! |
