to caravel_netlists.v when attempting to determine if the
verification testbenches could be run from caravel referencing
caravel_mgmt_soc_litex instead of the other way around. This file
has been reverted back to its original form.
This reverts commit 577cc12fe0.
Reverting the change from issue #16. After some discussion, it has
been decided that it is up to the user to implement the pull-up and
pull-down modes correctly by setting the output enable and driving
the output to the appropriate value. Note that this should be well
documented, if by nothing else than a validation testbench that
excercises a user pull-up and pull-down input mode.
zero level outputs when the user project area is powered down.
That allows the synthesis tools to buffer these outputs. The
protection from floating inputs is left as-is, but all logic that
was unnecessary to be specified by gate instances has been changed
to RTL. This leaves only a handful of signals (logic analyzer input,
user IRQ, and wishbone data out and acknowledge out) to be handled
by explicit logic gate instances.
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.
- high level changes:
* add larger buffers on output ports
* add buffers on input ports
* adjust sdc file increasing output load and setting a high transition
- detailed changes:
* add interactive script for openlane where the order of events is a bit shuffled
- to add obstruction before pdn
- to manually insert buffers on some ports
- to manually remove buffers inserted by synthesis on for example serial_clock_out
* change openlane config adding extra row and columns to increase the space and fit the
added buffers
* change config to enable buffering
* increase density for better placement?
* change the cell exclude list. some excluded cells didn't make sense
* ef decap cells break dynamic sims?
* add custom pdn script for to duplicate the old pdn
- misc changes:
* fix openlane makefile to properly detect interactive script
!important still need to run dynamic simulations
!important depends on some updates to openlane
Corrected the pad constant connections to all be in the correct domain
(1.8V or 3.3V). Created a new "constant_block" module that generates
a single constant 1 and 0 value in the 1.8V domain, and used 7 of these
in the chip_io (and chip_io_alt) modules to create the 1.8V domain
constant signals for the seven pads belonging to the management (clock,
reset, flash SPI, and management GPIO).
inputs that are permanently tied low or high come from either
the local "TIE" pad connections (if they are in the 3.3V
domain) or from a constant one wire in the 1.8V domain that
is generated in the gpio_control_block module and exported
to the chip_io (or chip_io_alt) module.
from the data and replace them with a single flop clocked on the
negative edge of the serial clock. This will completely avoid hold
violations by ensuring that the block's output data bit does not
change anywhere near the clock rising edge, so clocks do not have
to be tightly aligned among all of the GPIO blocks.
does not pass through an inverter, so that the input can remain
unconnected. Rewired the existing implementation to use an
alternative gate that has an inverting input so that the
user_gpio_out signal can be left undriven when the GPIOs are in
the management enable state. This is a simple logic refactoring
and does not change the logic function. The manual rewiring has
been confirmed by LVS, but at least one GL simulation should be
run to confirm that the logic function remains the same as before.
* 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

* (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.

* - 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.
