* Change: In boostrap, remove support for Chams.
* New: In Hurricane::Technology, added support for DTR rules, UnitRule,
PhysicalRule and TwoLayersPhysicalrule. Added devices descriptors and
models descriptors (for Spice). Spice description is not used yet
but kept anyway in case of future use.
* New: Hurricane::Analog whole library and it's Python interface. This
provides support for transistors, capacitors and resistors. Only
transistor support is fully implemented as of now.
* New: In CRL/python/coriolisInit.py, read configuration files for the
Analog extension (analog.conf & devices.conf). Thoses are optionals
and a simple warning is issued if not found.
Added helpers/AnalogTechno.py DTR loading helper.
Add analog configuration files for 180/scn6m_deep_09.
* New: Oroshi tool that provides actual layout drawing for transistors.
* Change: In all tools supplying documentation, as we use some specific
software to create the doc, they may not be available, or worse, be
and incompatible version. So, by default, we install the files shipped
with the git repository. To force a full doc rebuild, use the "--doc"
flag of ccb.py.
When upgrading from doxygen 1.5.x to 1.8.5 the way the documentation
is generated has underwent many changes, particularly in the headers.
* Change: In <header.html>, must include the javascripts <jquery.js>
and <dynsections.js>.
* In <CMakeLists.txt>, as the header is customized, doxygen seems not
copy some files like the javascripts and some images (open.png,
closed.png). So we copy them from doxygen installation and make
the CMakeLists.txt install them. I hope they will not change too
much in the future.
* In <doxyfile>, disable markdown support as it do not interpret
correctly the formating we already adopted (with a left margin
to put command into). Use HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET instead of
HTML_STYLESHEET. Enable the index (DISABLE_INDEX=NO), for the
top header. Enable dot for inheritance diagram. Set the
EXAMPLE_PATH=. to include the synthetic hierarchy.
Correct the tag inclusion (faulty path in some places).
* In <SoC.css>, create style for the new header generated by doxygen.
* In the documentation, move the synthetic hierarchy into a module.
Documentation restructuration:
* Bug: in <hurricane>: bad figure for transf-R1.
* Change, in <kite>: Remove deprecated configuration variables.
* New: documentation <tool> to regroup all documentation not directly
related to one tool.
* Change, in <crlcore>, move the user's guide and the top doc index
into <documentation>.
* New, in <documenation>: added Python script demo based on AM2901.
- Change: In Cell, added doc about PlacementStatus.
- Change: In Transformation, more detailed explanations about the
orientations. A little beautifying too...
- Change: RoutingPad doc update.
- Change: Entity doc update (for id).
- Change: In HTML header/footer uses the new SoC.css.
* ./crlcore/src:
- Change: In DefDriver, added support for placement exportation.
- New: In Utility, added a "paranoid" output stream (for my extra
warnings in the router).
- Bug: In ApParser, correct parsing of connectors index (recreate
the vector).
- Change: In alliance.conf, make "blockageNet" case insensitive.
- Change: In misc.conf, added support for paranoid stream.
- Change: In x2y and CyclopMain correct verbose flags positionning.
* ./crlcore/doc:
- Change: Updated style and added some documenation.
- Bug: In Histogram::addSample(), reject the sample if iset is superior
OR EQUAL to the sets size...
- Change: In etc/mauka.conf, sets "mauka.standardAnnealing" to True. Otherwise,
when hMetis (4-part) is not used, this leads toward very poor placements.
- New: In UsersGuide, add a third style variant for the soc-extras site.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./crlcore:
- New: In Utilities, cbug stream to separate all the scary messages
from Kite/Katabatic and maybe others.
- New: In stratus1.conf, adds default settings previously in st_config.
- New: Moves Python configuration helpers from under /etc/coriolis2
into PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES/crlcore. Adapt Utilities so coriolisInit.py
is now searched in that directory. This way only true configuration
files remains under /etc/coriolis2
- Change: In helpers/__init__.py, do not try to guess the sysConfDir
when not run through coriolisInit.py. This is done by exploring the
call stack with traceback.
- Change: In ApDriver, when a physical view is driven, update the flag
in the catalog state telling that this view is present. This is far
from satisfactory as this flag should be set as soon as any physical
component is created.
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./crlcore:
- New: Extented Python support for all objects needed to configure Coriolis.
- New: Configuration files and load helpers completly written in Python.
An XML emulation mode is still avalaible.
- New: UsersGuide, as a replacement for README, written in ReST.
- New: Start of Doxygen documentation (mostly for documenting the initialisation
objects & methods).
- New: Install a general index for the HTML documentation.
- Bug: In cyclop CMakeLists, forgot to list all the needed libraries for
the linker.
- New: Support of Python installation layout under Ubuntu 10.04.
lib/python2.6/dist-packages
DO NOT name two files with the same name with only case difference !
Mac osx is by default formated as NON case sensitive system file.
key_k.fig becomes key_k_.fig
key_k.png becomes key_k_.png
key_K.fig and key_K.png are not modified
IMPORTANT: this is a temporary update to allow me to finally checkout crlcore but need to be corrected by the author
- Change: When static linking is required, also switch Boost libraries in static
mode. Automatically done is modules using FindHURRICANE through
SET_LIB_LINK_MODE(). Note: FindBoost must be called *after* SET_LIB_LINK_MODE().
- New: Adds a README.tex describing the essentials features of Coriolis2.
- New: Support for LaTeX in CMake through the macros supplieds by Sandia.
- Change: Adds support for installation of config file in system-wide
/etc.
