Customized Output Format for Computed Configurations

[preusser]

Provide a way to specify a customized output format for the computed configuration of a component.

A first step could be a basic format string, which would, for instance, allow the representation of the configuration of a LUT as a hexadecimal INIT vector, which could be pasted into the instantiation of a corresponding primitive in an HDL design. Another option would be the introduction of graphical items to a component's schematic that are only drawn conditionally according to the computed configuration. Such a feature would, for instance, allow the intuitive representation of the selected path of a configurable multiplexer (CMUX). Ultimately, the output of a complete netlist implementation of the target fuction that instantiates configured device primitives can be envisioned.
