Jean-Paul Chaput 73e21908c5 Small mistake in RapidJson setup. 2016-03-06 12:38:18 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1b7bd9de36 Happy new year 2016! 2016-01-21 00:41:19 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5baddeb558 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 2).
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, added support for the "support" project
    which contains external dependencies. Currently contains only
    RapidJSON. Those dependencies must be cloned here manually.
* New: In Hurricane, Initializer class for an ordered static initialization
    across different compilation modules.
* Change: In Hurricane, at DataBase level, no longer save the Cells in
    the libraries, but create and ordered list of Cell. Deepest cells
    (leaf cells) first. To avoid dependency problems.
* New: In Hurricane, JSON support for Property.
* New; In CRL, added JSON support for AllianceFramework, Environement &
    Catalog and their associated properties. Adjustment of the
    AllianceLibrary creation policy.

* Updated the prerequisites
* More information for synthesis with Yosys

Jean-Paul Chaput bacea5214c Adapt the rpm automated build system of bootstrap (pass 2)
* Change: coriolis2.spec.in, Makefile.package and Builder/ccb now support
    RHEL6, RHEL7 & Fedora.
* Change: In Bootstrap, added a flag to activate compilation with
    openmp.

Jean-Paul Chaput 014e5eb538 Generate LaTeX documentation using dvipdfmx.
* Change: In documentation UserGuide, under RHEL7 documents generated
    with pdflatex tends to make evince core-dump while trying to print.
    So use latex+dvipdfm instead. Images then needs to be pdf with an
    auxiliary .bb file (the BoundingBox line extracted from the .eps).

Jean-Paul Chaput d825a76252 Updated documentation, introduce Etesian & plugins. 2015-03-06 08:58:10 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8566126acc Adding Configuration support to Etesian.
* Change: In Bootstrap & ccb, the coloquinte project is renamed into
    "importeds", it will be the home of all the externally
    devellopped softwares that are needed to build Coriolis.
      Add explicit support for Fedora ("Linux.fc") and uses
    site-packages, as everybody else.
* New: In CRL Core, in etc/, adds the configuration files for Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, activate the Configuration object. Now uses it's
    own configuration variables instead of borrowing those of
    Nimbus & Mauka.
* Change: In Documentation, updated User's Guide to present Etesian
    as the placer, instead of Mauka.
* Change: In Cumulus, slight change in ClokTreePlugin and ChipPlugin
    to match the new Etesian/Python interface.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6fb56f43e7 Documentation update for MacOS. 2014-12-12 12:05:25 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d0d045b55b Starting to implement support for Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In all to CMakeLists.txt, disable the warning about deprecated
   WIN32 under cygwin.
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, coriolisEnv.py and builder/Configuration.py
   add recognition in uname for the values returned under Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In Documenation, in UsersGuide.rst add some informations about
   Cygwin and a section for the devel branch.

Jean-Paul Chaput 20d25b2053 Add NetRoutingState (Property) on Nets to tell Kite what to do.
* New: In Katabatic, add the ability to decorate some (i.e. few) nets
    with a state that indicate to Katabatic & Kite what to do with it.
    The possible states are:
    1. Fixed : all the wire are in fixed positions. The router cannot
       move them and account them as obstacles.
    2. ManualGlobalRoute : a user-defined topology is supplied. The
       wires still have to be detailed route in "Detailed Pre-Route"
       but will be skipped for the global routing and fixed for the
       general Detailed route.
    3. AutomaticGlobalRoute : ordinary nets, to be global routed then
       detail routed.
    4. Excluded : do not try to global or detail route thoses nets.
    5. MixedPreRoute : mask combining Fixed and ManualGlobalRoute.
      Not all nets have this property, only those that needs a special
    processing.
      To ease the access to the state, it is nested inside a
    PrivateProperty in the net (NetRoutingProperty), with an extension
    access class (NetRoutingExtension).
* New: In Kite, take account of NetRoutingState. Pointers to the
    net's states are strored inside an internal map for faster access.
    The property is *not* deleted when Kite is destroyed. The property
    will remains until the Net itself is destroyed.
      As a consequence, the lists that where passed to high level
    function are removed as the information can now be accessed directly
    through the net NetRoutingProperty.
* New: In Unicorn, in CgtMain, comply with the update interface.
* New: In documentation, update the User's Guide to explain the Pre-routed
    step of Kite.

Jean-Paul Chaput 7296dcd6fb Make the Python interface closely mirroring the C++ one.
* Change: In Isobar, the Python interface was not exactly mirroring the
    C++ one, now it is the case. The Python code should look likes almost
    exactly like the C++ one, the only differences remaining being due
    to the languages respective syntaxes. Note that in the case of
    constructor functions, it leads to a slightly longer notation in
    Python that it could have been (mimic the ".create()" static
    member). Main modifications:
    1. Mirror the static constructor syntax with create():
          Cell( ... )   ==>  Cell.create( ... )
    2. Correct hierarchy for constants in Instance, Net, Pin
       & Transformation. For example:
          Hurricane.PlacementStatusFIXED
                     ==> Hurricane.Instance.PlacementStatus.FIXED
          Hurricane.OrientationID
                     ==> Hurricane.Transformation.Orientation.ID
          Hurricane.TypeLOGICAL  ==>  Hurricane.Net.Type.LOGICAL
          Hurricane.DirectionIN  ==>  Hurricane.Net.Direction.IN
* Change: In CRL Core, correction to match the improved Python API
    in the configutation helpers.
* Change: In Cumulus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Stratus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Documenation, update for the new Python interface
    (both user's guide & examples).
* Note: We must port those changes into Chams for it to continue
   to run.
* Change: In Documenation, update the Python script support part.

Jean-Paul Chaput 8bc7bd38db Add a common/ to share the trunk of symbolic technologies configurations.
In CRL Core configuration files, "display.conf", "patterns.conf" and
"technology.conf" share most of their code. So that common part is put
into "common/" and sourced from the final configuration file.
Update the documentation according the the new initialization scheme.
