to be abstract views, and modified the LVS scripts accordingly
(they no longer need a special version of the netgen setup
script). LVS was verified on both caravel and caravan using this
setup.
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.
gate-level simulations from running. Corrected caravan_netlists.v,
which did not have the same change made yesterday to caravel_netlists.v
for the DLL.
knowledge and which went undetected since before MPW-one. Modified
the "pll" and "sysctrl" testbenches so that they run and measure
something useful. Both exercise the clock monitoring on GPIO
outputs functions. The PLL test also runs the digital locked
loop (behavioral verilog). The PLL test overlaps sysctrl, but
"pll" cannot be run on gate level verilog, whereas "sysctrl" can.
(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.
and open source logos. Modified the gpio_defaults_block layout
so that open holes are not created in the metal1 when the vias
are moved by the defaults block configuration script.
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).
the change in the implementation of the serial loader, which split the load
signal out as a separate bit, and therefore had a separate bit-bang entry).
the clocking subcircuit from inside the pad area near the "clock"
pin to under the DLL. This prevents the DLL from having its
outputs travel all the way across the chip to reach the clocking
cell and then have the multiplexed clock travel all the way back,
especially as the DLL outputs are high-speed signals (up to 150
MHz).
verilog gate-level netlists to match the correct GPIO default
value assignments, and modify the top level gate-level caravel.v
and caravan.v netlists to match.
characters in the user_id_textblock layout, which was backwards,
and (2) add a path reference to "hexdigits" for each new character
layout encountered in the file, so that the text block layouts
are found even if "addpath hexdigits" has not been specified.
There were some other corrections to handling gzipped files that
probably does not apply in practice, where "make uncompress" has
been run prior to the set_user_id.py script.
