Abstract
A method of determining validity of slice packing for a programmable device can include identifying a slice topology for a slice, identifying a circuit fragment assigned to the slice, and generating a set of Boolean equations describing conditions for mapping the circuit fragment to the slice according to the slice topology. The method further can include determining whether a solution to the set of Boolean equations exists and indicating whether the slice is validly packed according to whether a solution for the set of Boolean equations is determined.
