Tim Edwards dd6088e013 Corrected the instance name of the topmost GPIO defaults block on
the left hand side of caravan from gpio_defaults_block_14 to
gpio_defaults_block_25.  Otherwise, the script that generates the
custom user configuration won't be able to change the defaults
for GPIO 25.

Corrects four signal routes which were missing from the caravan top level (#88)
* Corrects four signals which were missing from the caravan top level
(management output and output enable to GPIO 0 and 1---these errors
would have prevented the houskeeping SPI from working on caravel).
Corrected RTL verilog (source of the error), GL verilog, and layout.

* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst

Numerous bug fixes, ending in clean full LVS for both caravel and caravan. (#76)
* (1) Modified the .magicrc file to set a default for PDK if not set in the
environment.  (2) Fixed the user ID programming layout to not leave holes
behind when the script moves the vias around (similar to the handling of
the GPIO defaults block).  (3) Added substrate isolation to gpio_control_block
and fixed the path references to the standard cells.  (4) Fixed the four
missing routes on the Caravan top level.  (5) Reinstated the large rendered
labels for the pads on both caravel and caravan.  (6) Corrected the top
level gate-level netlist for caravan to add the missing pins to the
management core wrapper.  (7) Did the same for the caravan top level RTL.
(8) Created scripts to run full LVS including extracting the management
core wrapper and reading all gate-level verilog submodules.  (9) Moved all
of the LVS scripts to the scripts directory.

* Made the changes from pull request #73 as they did not get merged
successfully, and if merged now they will generate conflicts with
this pull request in scripts/set_user_id.py.  So it's easier to
just manually add them to this pull request.

Caravan top lvs (#67)
* - 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.

Corrected the issue reported on the github issue tracker (#34) (#50)
* Corrected the issue reported on the github issue tracker (#34)
in which the use of "clocking" as an instance name in caravel and
caravan conflicts with the system verilog keyword of the same
name.

Tim Edwards a9bb8bcd0a A handful of changes/corrections: (1) Housekeeping signal "user_clock"
(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.

Tim Edwards 1035e8b469 Updated caravel and caravan layouts to reflect the simple change
to housekeeping and the management core wrapper to separate the
wb_cyc_i signal and connect to new signal hk_cyc_o on the
management core.  Also:  Fixed a dangling input (user_clock) on
the housekeeping (minor error caused by the earlier refactoring
and unnoticed because there is no testbench covering that
function).
2021-11-30 10:05:43 -05:00
Tim Edwards 84c97b74b2 Corrected the instance names in the layout so that they once again
correspond to what the script gen_gpio_defaults.py is looking for.
2021-11-29 19:57:33 -05:00
Tim Edwards cd4a052344 Made the same change to caravan as was made to caravel in the
last commit.
2021-11-29 14:27:02 -05:00
Tim Edwards 543fee18e3 Revised the spare logic block to make sure that all inputs are
reachable from pins on the boundary once it's synthesized.
2021-11-24 09:34:52 -05:00
Tim Edwards 2b156997cb Added a new module with "spare logic" for metal mask fixes. 2021-11-24 09:23:22 -05:00
Tim Edwards 08a2c90940 Made updates to correct LVS errors in caravan. Found one major error in the RTL
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.

Tim Edwards e86831b188 Final edits to make caravel LVS clean. 2021-11-22 16:51:35 -05:00
Tim Edwards 1e14d3a4c5 Corrected the rstb_l signal in both caravan and caravel, and corrected
the clock_core signal in caravan.
2021-11-22 13:25:35 -05:00
Tim Edwards cfeb62dfb4 A number of changes to the caravan netlists, (1) to correct for
problems that had been fixed recently in caravel, and which cause
the caravan testbench to break, but which were not noticed;  (2)
corrected the count of gpio_control_block modules, which was one
off, with two of them overlapping (not sure how that even passes
simulation, but it did);  (3) fixed a power connection in the
caravel chip_io, which should have caused chip_io to fail LVS,
so apparently LVS was not run on chip_io. . .
2021-11-22 09:46:21 -05:00
Tim Edwards 6eb8bb54de Several more LVS corrections, including fixing a label in chip_io that
got removed from its net by a chang in the LEF view of an I/O pad, and
a lack of declaration of an array to attach to pwr_ctrl_out in the
verilog, which is valid verilog but netgen can't know the bus size
without the no-connect net being declared.  The remaining issue has to
do with separation of ground domains in the mgmt_protect block.
2021-11-21 22:58:39 -05:00
Tim Edwards 5f1a0029f5 Made the same corrections to caravan as were made to caravel
(clock -> clock_core in caravel_clocking, VPWR -> vccd_core and
VGND -> vssd_core in the instances of modules that were pulled from
the management SoC to the top level).
2021-11-17 09:06:42 -05:00
Tim Edwards b8dda9c3b1 (1) Corrected an error from a recent commit where the reset was
fixed by moving from after the managment protect to before it, but
an inversion of the signal was missed, leading to an incorrect
wb_rst_i passed to housekeeping.  (2) Revised the method to load
the serial GPIO data chain from a 2-pin, I2C-like method to a
more straightforward 3-pin method with separate reset, clock, and
load pins.  The load pin propagates through the chaing like the
other two.  Added a bit-bang signal for the load signal as well.
(3) Added an implied buffer after the data output of the GPIO
control block to ensure that the data arrives at the next control
block after the clock, to prevent hold violations.
2021-11-03 23:18:36 -04:00
Tim Edwards 3b89cf0efa Corrected the clock signal into the housekeeping module, which was
incorrectly assigned to the clock on the user side of the managment
protect block, causing it to be undefined when the user area power
supply is down.  The "hkspi_power" testbench which tests using the
housekeeping SPI while the user area power is grounded now works
correctly.

Tim Edwards dd66d1e5ca Renamed the poorly and awkwardly named "sky130_fd_sc_hvl__lsbufhv2lv_1_wrapped"
cell to the simpler (and easier to remember) "xres_buf".
2021-10-31 21:43:09 -04:00
Tim Edwards 3a57940371 Revised the management protect block to include protections against
an unconnected wishbone bus (unconnected inputs).  Added the missing
signals for the user IRQ enables to management protect (which have
to come from the management SoC).
2021-10-27 19:36:43 -04:00
Tim Edwards 745eee1baa Created an "open frame" version of caravan (and revised the one for
caravel, since it had not been updated since a number of changes to
the caravel top level module).
2021-10-25 16:29:12 -04:00
Tim Edwards bc9944ce20 Updated the caravan netlist and implemented the caravan testbench. 2021-10-25 15:08:13 -04:00
Tim Edwards 332f9ec2e7 Seeding with documentation of pinout and verilog RTL (mostly unchanged
from original except to remove blocks that are not supposed to be in
this repository like the processor core and the storage).
