I have a system consisting of multiple boards. Some of these boards are=20
quite generic (with FPGAs etc on them) so the net names aren't always=20
especially meaningful in the context of the system. Sometimes there may=20
be multiple boards of the same type in the system. Keeping track of=20
which signal is which across multiple boards so that I can feed that=20
information into my FPGA tools is becoming a pain.

What I would like is a program where I can import a netlist for each=20
board (either exported from altium or created by hand depending on=20
whether I have the design files for the board in question) and then tell=20
it how the boards are connected together (e.g. P1 on board X is plugged=20
into J1 on board Y, S1 on board Y is connected to S2 on board Z via a=20
cable that reverses the pin numbers etc) and then provide me (either=20
through a UI or through exporting a text file with a system level view=20
of the nets so I can easilly look up which pin on a chip one one board=20
connects to which pin on a chip on another board).

Does anything like this exist or should I start writing it.
