Synthesizing the Project

After testing and validating the ALU through simulation, you can move on to the synthesis stage, where the generated code (HDL) is converted into a physical representation (logic gate networks, blocks, etc.). To do this:

1. Go to the Synthesize tab, where the ChipInventor platform will translate your design into a physical implementation, checking for possible inconsistencies and optimizing the circuit to meet requirements such as area and performance.

2. Click Run Synthesize to start the process:

• During this stage, warnings or errors related to the design may appear. If that happens, review the blocks and connections in the diagram, correcting any inconsistencies.

• If everything goes well, the tool will display statistics about the synthesized circuit.

3. In the end, you will have an optimized version of your project, ready for advanced layout and manufacturing steps should you decide to implement it in real hardware.
