* - update caravan configuration
* change correct gpio_default blocks instance names
* implement powerrouting work around
* place spare logic blocks
* keep the history of runs and sym link last/final one
* - update caravan mag, def and gl views
- add fake power routing cell in the rtl as a placeholder for openlane
to prevent routing on that cell
- fix some syntax errors in chip_io_alt
- match simple_por lef pins with mag by regenerating it
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* add caravan power routing lef
* - update mag and def view of caravan
- add_macro_placement for fake cell
* Added back the power routing to Caravan, fixed DRC errors, ran LVS,
corrected placement of isolated substrate regions, and replaced the
signal routing for the analog lines. Be aware that merging with
main may cause issues with the mgmt_protect.mag file and its
subcells mprj2_logic_high.mag and mprj_logic_high.mag. It may be
worth cherry-picking the files to merge and exclude those layouts.

* 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

* 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.

correctly no matter how the "gpio_defaults_block.mag" and
"gl/gpio_defaults_block.v" are defined. Previously it assumed
that they both defined all bits as zero, which was not the case
for the layout. Now both define bit value 0x0402 and the script
can flip bits either direction as needed in both verilog and
layout
connections to the core side VCCD1 and VSSD1 on the clamped3 pads.
Also added scripts for running LVS on chip_io to the mag/ directory,
and revised the scripts so that they will only re-run extraction if
there is no netlist file in the mag/ directory.
(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.
which is now done through setting an environment variable to point to the
location of the management SoC wrapper. Added the missing user project
wrappers to the GL directory (copied from the original caravel repository),
and also the GL version of chip_io_alt. Modified the caravan_netlists and
caravel_netlists files to import the correct list of gate level netlists,
which has been reduced by moving "include" statements for components of the
management SoC into the management SoC repository (e.g., caravel_pico).
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.
