Class BinaryEDIFReader

Object

com.xilinx.rapidwright.edif.BinaryEDIFReader

public class BinaryEDIFReader
extends Object

A Reader for the RapidWright Binary EDIF Format Provides a binary alternative to textual EDIF that is ~10-15X smaller and loads 5-10X faster. This is intended as a RapidWright-only cache (with the extension *.bedf) of this text-based EDIF and cannot be read by Vivado. One additional tradeoff is that it takes about 2.5-3X longer to write than text-based EDIF, but it is expected that this binary alternative will be written once and read many times.
