+# GF16 FPGA Synthesis — BENCH-005
+
+**Target:** QMTECH XC7A100T-FGG676
+**Tool:** Vivado (synth_design)
+**Goal:** Measure LUT/FF/DSP/Fmax for GF16 add/mul vs ternary baseline
+
+## Files Created
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `gf16_add_top.v` | GF16 adder with IO registers (for fair Fmax) |
+| `gf16_mul_top.v` | GF16 multiplier with IO registers |
+| `gf16_add_synth.tcl` | Vivado synthesis script (add) |
+| `gf16_mul_synth.tcl` | Vivado synthesis script (mul) |
+
+## How to Run
+
+### Prerequisites
+1. Xilinx Vivado installed
+2. QMTECH XC7A100T connected via JTAG (ESP32 bridge)
+
+### Synthesis Commands
+
+```bash
+cd fpga/openxc7-synth
+
+# GF16 Adder
+vivado -mode batch -source gf16_add_synth.tcl
+
+# GF16 Multiplier
+vivado -mode batch -source gf16_mul_synth.tcl
+```
+
+## Expected Reports
+
+After synthesis, check:
+- `gf16_add_output/utilization.rpt` → LUT, FF, DSP counts
+- `gf16_add_output/timing.rpt` → Fmax, WNS, TNS
+- `gf16_mul_output/utilization.rpt` → LUT, FF, DSP counts
+- `gf16_mul_output/timing.rpt` → Fmax, WNS, TNS
+
+## Target Table (Section 8.7)
+
+| Module | LUT | FF | DSP | Fmax (MHz) | Status |
+|--------|-----|----|-----|------------|--------|
+| ternary (hslm) | 4,267 | 2,449 | 0 | ≥92 | ✅ Measured |
+| gf16_add | ? | ? | 0? | ? | ⏳ TBD |
+| gf16_mul | ? | ? | 1? | ? | ⏳ TBD |
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Run synthesis for both modules
+2. Extract LUT/FF/DSP from `utilization.rpt`
+3. Extract Fmax from `timing.rpt` (Fmax = 1 / (period - WNS))
+4. Update `docs/research/gf16_vs_literature.md` Section 8.7
