SYNTHETIC RUN COMPARISONS

[NSTD-1] Unspecified I/O standard (drc) -- worsened (1->3)

Report stage mismatch: Post-Synthesis -> Post-Route; values may not be directly comparable.

Values and source names come from Silver’s analysis pipeline running on synthetic reports. They do not represent a customer design.

MADE FOR THE DEBUG LOOP

From report
to next decision.

Start with the build status. Open details when you need the evidence behind it.

01

UNDERSTAND

Read the run status with its supporting report evidence.

02

EXPLORE

Review timing, resource utilization, design rules, and supported summaries.

03

COMPARE

See report-stage changes and occurrence counts across build snapshots.

04

DEBUG

Open critical paths and source references when the reports provide them.

PRODUCT WORKFLOW

Follow the details
that matter.

Every summary stays connected to the selected report set and its parse status.

REPORT REVIEW

See what completed
and what needs review.

Bring supported reports and logs together with their parse status and source references. Incomplete inputs stay visibly incomplete.

ANALYSIS CONTEXT
Parsed report
Constraint context
Findings link to report sources when available.
BUILD COMPARISON

See how findings
change between runs.

Review changes across snapshots, including implementation stage and design-rule occurrence counts when the source reports support them.

FOUR SYNTHETIC SCENARIOS

Start with the question
you need to answer.

Values below come from Silver pipeline runs on synthetic reports. They demonstrate the interface and are not customer projects or design recommendations.

SYNTHETIC · timing_synth.rpt

SYNTHETIC · utilization_routed.rpt

Resource utilization

Section and row counts come from the parsed utilization model.

Design-rule changes

Compare report stages and occurrence counts for a rule across two synthetic runs.

A FOCUSED WORKFLOW

From run folder
to useful context.

Silver structures the evidence and lets you decide the next step.

  1. GenerateCreate implementation reports with your FPGA design tools.
  2. ReviewOpen a project or report set locally in Silver.
  3. UnderstandCheck the verdict, supported summaries, and source references.
  4. Share by choicePrepare analysis context for an external assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude. No automatic upload occurs.

AI-ASSISTED, USER-DIRECTED

Generate structured reports once.
Use them with the assistant you choose.

Silver helps organize engineering information for further investigation. External AI tools may offer additional reasoning; review suggestions against the original design and reports.

MEET THE TEAM

Built by people who work with hardware.

The people behind Silver and the engineering work that shaped it.

GOOD TO KNOW

Clear answers.

Does Silver upload my reports?

Silver analyzes the reports you select in the desktop tool. This website does not accept or upload Vivado reports.

Does Silver run Vivado?

No. Silver reads reports and logs produced by a Vivado build.

Can I download Silver now?

Yes. Download the published Windows executable from Silver's GitHub release. The release README notes that the application is not code-signed.

Does Silver send reports to an AI service?

No automatic AI call is made. Silver prepares context for a user-directed handoff; you choose whether and what to share with an external assistant.
