mo-hosni 8f4afe28c6 removed the vertical met5 power stripes and added via2/met3 on the horizontal pins in `chip_io_alt` 2023-05-10 04:36:45 -07:00

Fixes to caravan for LVS and ERC (#330)
* Corrected missing part of porb_h route in the caravan chip_io_alt
layout.  Correcting the indexing of the "mprj_io_one" connections
to "mgmt_io_oeb" on the left-hand side of caravan, as they were
connecting back to the right side and making a mess of wiring,
instead of being wired locally directly to the nearest I/O.

* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst

* Corrected the unconnected mgmt_io_in inputs to housekeeping on
the caravan chip (which correspond to the GPIOs that do not exist
in caravan) by connecting them to the "zero" outputs of the
closest GPIO control blocks.

* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst

Tim Edwards 714fc1cd13 Fixes to chip_io to fix LVS issues. Also added back top level
pins on the pads, and reinstated the script that does that from
another branch that was not merged.

Tim Edwards a2feddf714 Corrected the layout views of chip_io and chip_io_alt, which were
missing some of the labels for the power supplies (they were
accidentally erased during layout re-work).
2022-10-11 11:39:03 -04:00
Tim Edwards 2459b3583e Updated all views of chip_io and chip_io_alt based on the abstract
view of constant_block which was recently merged into the repository.
The constant_block instance positions and connections were modified
slightly to avoid routing over obstruction areas.

Tim Edwards bd4f053ec1 Updated I/O layouts with constant_block instances from M. Hosni's
fork of caravel (layout .mag file not copied into this commit).
The layouts of both chip_io and chip_io_alt are believed to be
complete, but need verification (with LVS).

Tim Edwards fd29bb3442 Generated new chip_io_alt layout to match the chip_io changes in
the previous commit.  Fixed a few minor errors in the chip_io
layout.  Waiting on layout of constant_block to finish.

Tim Edwards 75f4e49a99 Removed two floating metal2 rectangles from chip_io_alt. 2021-12-08 10:00:57 -05:00
Tim Edwards 489bddcf98 Two more changes: (1) Correction to chip_io_alt.v RTL verilog to
match what was done earlier on chip_io.v, and (2) Corrected a
set of four labels in chip_io_alt.mag which had been rotated,
causing an error in LVS.

Tim Edwards 624317bc3f Corrected the missing port designation on porb_h in chip_io.mag
and chip_io_alt.mag.

Tim Edwards e2ee74c591 Changed "simple_por" in both caravel and caravan to be an abstract
view pointing to the contents of ../gds/ so that when the assembled
chip's GDS is generated with "cif *hier write disable", the POR
will continue to have the GDS with the proper hierarchical processing.

Tim Edwards 1ff48245e8 Pushing final layout of Caravan, now LVS clean. 2021-11-23 14:06:14 -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 cd68a2aeff Made several corrections to errors found in the netlists: (1)
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.
2021-11-22 15:21:06 -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.

Tim Edwards 60bdc7e6a4 Moved some supply lines over in chip_io_alt for Caravan to make it
more compatible with the routing that was copied over from Caravel.
2021-11-21 13:00:44 -05:00
Tim Edwards 559675d392 Corrected chip_io and chip_io_alt layouts to restore the accidentally
deleted "resetb_core_h" port label.  Corrected the chip_io and chip_io_alt
verilog RTL files to replace the user area power supply clamp cells with
the new clamped3 cell from open_pdks.
2021-11-15 17:13:43 -05:00
Tim Edwards f28950695d Made adjustments to the padframe routing to move all routes closer
to the padframe and free up more space for routing in the chip
interior.
2021-11-15 11:52:08 -05:00
Tim Edwards 67e48e53c5 Corrected minor DRC errors around the padframe cell and in the new
caravan logo layout.  Current design is DRC clean with the new
open_pdks maglef views of the I/O cells.

Tim Edwards 27fdba364b Added user 1.8V power supply rails to the chip_io and chip_io_alt
layouts.  Because the 1.8V domains are no longer within the pad
ring buses, they need to be connected together in the cell.  These
internal lines were previously in the power routing cells.
2021-11-10 17:13:43 -05:00
Tim Edwards ba932643e6 Changed the chip_io and chip_io_alt layouts to implement the
continuous ring of vccd and vssd.  The clamp connections for the
vccd1/vssd1 and vccd2/vssd2 pads still need to be done, although
the pads themselves have been changed to the base cell, matching
the new verilog RTL.
2021-11-03 15:57:46 -04:00
Tim Edwards a7148378a0 Added as many of the magic database layout files as are expected to remain
unchanged between the caravel and caravel_openframe repositories.
