~ reimplement based on updated views of the macros
~ change interactive script to call label_macro_pins
~ extract all spef and sdf corners using timing-scripts repo
!important same work arounds as before
~ update the following views:
def
mag
verilog
spef(all corners)
+ add the ability to override the interactive script filename
+ add the ability to run openlane regression using regression.config
file
~ change GRT ADJUSTMENT values
~ change pointers to some files for workarounds
!important the interactive script still needs updates
!important this was done using old openlane v0.22 and its matching
pdk
!important known workarounds:
- a custom techlef is used where large metal spacing rules are the
only ones present to avoid violations by the router
- some odd behaviour happening when a macro has a lef view
with a non zero origin. so the power routing cell is (temporarily)
modified to have a zero origin and its placement has been shifted
which doesn't match the power routing mag.
- the old openlane doesn't generate multi spef corners. they
are generated using timing-scripts repo
* REVERT ME: temporarily match simple_por pin in verilog with lef
* - update configs
- add patch file for power routing def
* - update the following caravel toplevel views
- gl
- mag
- def
- add caravel power routing def
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* update gl mag and def for caravel
* Revert "REVERT ME: temporarily match simple_por pin in verilog with lef"
This reverts commit b70c27c69f.
* update caravel gds
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* Added text and logo cells back into the caravel top level. Put an
isolated ground marker layer on the xres_buf layout. Corrected
the power supply pin names on the gate level verilog netlist of
simple_por in caravel.v. Updated the copyright block text.
Corrected DRC errors in the top level routing.

(input for monitoring) changed from being connected directly to the
user project (where it shouldn't be) to the same signal on the input
side of the management protect block (where it should be). This is
functionally the same. Checked for any other signals connected
directly from the user project to any block other than mgmt_protect,
didn't find any (good). Modified the gate-level netlists and top-level
layouts for caravel and caravan with the corresponding change. This
was the only change affecting layout. Also: Revised the "pll"
testbench. This is still ongoing work. Also: Fixed the way the
pins on I/O pads are declared in chip_io.v, mprj_io.v, and pads.v, so
that it isn't so bizarre. Most of this change is functionally
agnostic (just a change in the way the ifdefs work), but did fix an
incorrect ifdef that causes the whole user power domain to be broken.
blocks; that is, there are special versions of the block for the
first 6 GPIO pins. That should allow the GL netlists to simulate,
although the end goal is to have the gen_gpio_defaults.py script
modify the GL netlists to exactly match the configuration, as is
done for the .mag layouts.
to resolve the problem with the typo that caused the propagated
GPIO serial load, reset, and clock signals to get scrambled on the
user2 side. Caravel is now LVS clean again (Caravan needs layout
work).
verilog for both caravel and caravan. Hand-edited the RTL and GL netlists to
correct this; still need to correct the layouts. The error causes the user1
side clock, load, and reset buffers to drive the user2 side as well as the user1
side, making a huge mess of the routing. Will route this by hand.
Fixed rstb_h, which was being input to low-voltage blocks. (2)
Fixed flash_csb_ieb_core and flash_clk_ieb_core, which were not
output from housekeeping as they should be; the solution was
to tie the INP_DIS lines low at the pad by connecting them to
the TIE_LO_ESD line. This should probably be addressed in
housekeeping but would change the current pinout.
