The freeze silicon ECO flow requires you to add and place spare cells in anticipation ofpossible ECO needs. Then you create your ECO changes and add them to your design with
the eco_netlist command. You can do this by using a Verilog netlist or Tcl commands.
After each call of the eco_netlist command, run the place_freeze_silicon or
map_freeze_silicon command (freeze ECO flow only) in order to:
• Swap the deleted cell out of the design
• Map the newly added cells to spare cells
• Delete unused spare cells from the Milkyway database
• Restore the cell count to a consistent state
