Graphical Support for the Design and Evaluation of Configurable Logic Blocks

Developing a tool supporting humans to design and evaluate CLB-based circuits requires a lot of know-how and research from different fields of computer science.
In this work, the newly developed application q2d, especially its design and implementation will be introduced as a possible tool for approaching CLB circuit development with graphical UI support.
Design decisions and implementation will be discussed and a workflow example will be given.:1 Introduction
1.1 Forethoughts
1.2 Theoretical Background
1.2.1 Definitions
1.2.2 Expressing Connections between Circuit Elements
1.2.3 Global Context and Target Function
1.2.4 Problem formulation as QBF and SAT
2 Description of the Implemented Tool
2.1 Design Decisions
2.1.1 Choice of Language, Libraries and Frameworks
2.1.2 Solving the QBF Problem
2.1.3 Design of the Internally Used Meta-Model
2.1.4 User Interface Ergonomics
2.1.5 Aspects of Schematic Visualization
2.1.6 Limitations
2.2 Implemented Features
2.2.1 Basic Interaction
2.2.2 User-Defined Components
2.2.3 Generation of Circuit Symbols
2.2.4 Methods for Specifying Functional Behaviour
3 Implementation Details
3.1 Classes Involved in the Component Meta-Model
3.2 The Document Entry Class and its Factory
3.3 Model and View
3.3.1 The Model Element Hierarchy
3.3.2 The Schematics Element Hierarchy
3.4 The Quantor Interface
4 An Example Workflow
4.1 The Task
4.2 A Component Descriptor for Xilinx’ LUT6-2
4.3 Designing the Model
4.4 Computing the Desired Configuration
5 Summary and Outlook
5.1 Achieved Results
5.2 Suggested Improvements
