A method of routing a design on a programmable logic device (PLD) includes generating a database that identifies the correspondence between routing resources of the PLD and programming frames of the PLD. A first set of programming frames required to implement the logic of the design is identified, and...http://www.google.com.tw/patents/US7149997?utm_source=gb-gplus-share專利 US7149997 - Routing with frame awareness to minimize device programming time and test cost
