whether after the synthesis to-generic netlist is generated or synthesis to-mapped netlist is generated which of them is called the golden netlist?

 

[otis]

There are three types of netlist during design process. bronze,silver and gold.

When you get bronze netlist is not the final one, still designer may expect changes in RTL.

Silver more or less RTL is fixed but there may be some rework done at gate level.

When you say golden netlist that means RTL and gate level changes are forzen no more changes are not allowed.
