Abstract
A method for routing a design may comprise receiving a design for implementing in a target device, wherein the design includes an input/output (I/O) signal of a functional block, and wherein the functional block is assigned to a physical component of the target device; based on the design and on a routing resource graph representing the target device, calculating a route including the physical component and a physical pin of the target device; and assigning the physical pin of the target device to the I/O signal based on the calculated route.
