Netlist

Here is the strategy that I am going to use to extract the netlist.

First I have to understand the layout.  Then I will write a technology table to allow me to run LVS on it.  The LVS run will allow me to extract a netlist.  
I will then divide the layout into blocks, and develop a netlist for each section.  I will work toward a hierarchical netlist, with cells that can be expressed in terms of either dynamic logic or in terms of RTL.  I will check my work be contrasting my extracted netlist against the layout.  When one section is done, I will go on to the next one.

Finally, I will end up with a RTL netlist that I can simulate and that I can run a LVS with against the layout.
