Vivado Partial Reconfiguration - How do I manually control the placement of the PartPins in a Partial Reconfiguration flow?

Description

How do I manually control the placement of the PartPins in a Partial Reconfiguration flow?

Solution

Poor placement does affect the design (resulting in timing and/or routing issues) in PR flow.

You can manually control the placement of PartPins using HD.PARTPIN_RANGE. 

It is possible to put a custom range on the SERDES pins for the right side of the RP Pblock only. 

For example:
 
set_property HD.PARTPIN_RANGE SLICE_X0Y0:SLICE_X1Y1 [get_pins <RP_cellName>/<serdes_pins>]

The x0y0/x1y1 would be coordinates along the right side of the Pblock.

The PartPin range does need to be kept within the Pblock range.

For more details on HD.PARTPIN_RANGE, please review (UG909) Vivado Partial Reconfiguration and search for PARTPIN_RANGE.
