Abstract
Method and system for providing a netlist driven integrated router in a non-netlist driven environment for microprocessor designs includes retrieving top level netlist for the existing microprocessor design from the top level database and the design parameters for the new microprocessor design, and translating these netlist and design parameters at the front end so that the resulting data can be provided to an integrated router which is configured to generate re-routes for the new microprocessor design based on the top level netlist and the design parameters, where the generated re-routes are provided to a back end for translating the re-routes to new top level netlist and merging the new top level netlist with the existing top level netlist database.
