• p. 16 in Chapter 1: line 1 "as similar to an FPGA" → "is similar to an FPGA".

• p. 61 in Chapter 3, Fig 3: the slicing trees don't impose any order on the arrangement of the cut lines, e.g., modules c and d are swapped in the figure. Thus, generating the floorplan from a slicing tree is ambiguous. For vertical cuts, the left child should represent the left submodule; for horizontal cuts, the left child should represent the lower submodule; trees are evaluated in top-down and left-right manner, and floorplans are generated from lower-left towards upper-right corner.

• p. 124 in Chapter 4: The legalization of mixed-size netlists that contain large movable blocks is particularly challenging [4.14] → [4.7].

• p. 143, in Chapter 5, Fig 5.14: "Hanan Points" is missing one Hanan point at the top.

• p. 186 in Chapter 6: Forbidden pitch rules prohibit routing wires at certain distances apart, but allows smaller or greater spacings → ...but allow smaller or greater spacings.
