Encounter as a LEF viewer ?

[chuggington]

I am working on a design for which we use a memory from a customer. We would like to see the pin locations / assignments in the memory lef that they dropped . But I have not yet received a pre -synthesised netlist from the front end yet ,otherwise i could load it up and check. Is there any option in encounter wherein I could load the lef and see how the pin assignments are ?.

Hello, There is something called LEF viewer which works with firefox, but unfortunately only the previous version of firefox supports it. I tried downloading the older version , but it doesnt work properly. You just see the outline and not any details of the pins as I wanted. So I ended up creating a dummy verilog file that calls for the memory.lef and used it to view the same.
