Hierarchical Flows
------------------
The Make-based build system supports bottom-up hierarchical place-and-route flows. You will need to create your module hierarchy in your input configuration YMLs before running the ``buildfile`` make target. If you change your hierarchy at any point, the ``hammer.d`` file needs to be re-generated.
Throughout the execution of the hierarchical flow, you must override the ``VLSI_TOP`` Make variable to the hierarchical submodule that you are currently working on. Otherwise, simulation and power flows will not work properly.
For more information about setting up hierarchical flows, see the `Hammer documentation <https://hammer-vlsi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Hammer-Use/Hierarchical.html>`__.
