Thank you for adding this feature!

Do we need to run the synthesis again? I think it's better to use write_checkpoint and read_checkpoint commands if possible:
syntax:
write_checkpoint -force $DIR/impl.dcp
(read_checkpoint: I've never tried)

the -flatten_hierarchy none flag means that this synthesis run produces different results to the normal synthesis script (poorer results, but it allows the switching activity annotation)

I wanted to mention the duplication with the synthesis for power estimation, I think it also has the flatten_hierarchy option:

ah, possibly! but we are currently only running synthesis once (some of the simulations were hanging with the double synth option).
I should investigate it though!

@shundroid switched so the vhdl files are from the hdl folder, and we pull just the tb file from the sim folder
