D. Place and Route
E. Programming file generation
What is the correct order of FPGA design flow?
- A. A,B,C,D,E
- B. A,B,D,C,E
- C. B,D,C,E,A
- D. C,A,D,E,B
Answer: B. A,B,D,C,E
Explanation: The standard FPGA design flow begins with HDL Coding/RTL Design (A), which translates the logic. This is followed by Synthesis (B) to map the code to gates. Then, Place and Route (D) physically places the logic on the chip and routes connections. After physical layout, Static Timing Analysis (C) verifies timing constraints. Finally, the Programming file generation (E) creates the bitstream to program the FPGA.
