    Or BLIF or EBLIF (already used by the verilog-to-routing flow). But no, let's invent yet another netlist format.

    The fact that all of these existing formats are all named "xxx logic interchange format" should give you an idea what will happen to this new "interchange format".

    From what I gather ( https://github.com/SymbiFlow/python-fpga-interchange/blob/ma... ) , the new format is basically the existing Yosys/nextpnr JSON format except dumped as a Cap'n Proto binary file.

    I am absolutely not impressed.

    I guess the meat here is on the universal device resources format, but this is not cool anyway.
