The get_nets command can return multiple representations of the same net as the net traverses through the design hierarchy. Below are some examples using the options provided with get_nets to ensure that the proper representation of the net is selected.
The following examples use the leaf pin of a LUT2 as defined below to query different segments of the net connected to the leaf pin.
set mypin [get_pins{egressLoop[7].egressFifo/buffer_fifo/infer_fifo.wr_addr_reg[9]_i_1__6/I0}]
mark_objects -color green $mypinSimply getting the net connected to the leaf pin mypin returns the net segment within the hierarchy directly connected to the leaf pin.
select_objects [get_nets -of $mypin]In order to select all segments of the net connected to leaf pin mypin, use the -segments option.
select_objects [get_nets -segments -of $mypin]In order to only get the net segment at the highest level of the hierarchy connected to the leaf
pin mypin, use the -top_net_of_hierarchical_group
along with the -segments option. This is often useful when printing
debug statements as this will provide the name of the net with the shortest number of
characters.
select_objects [get_nets -top_net_of_hierarchical_group -segments -of $mypin]
