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.
~ fix typo in referencing variables in sdc file
~ fine tune parameters to get the design to route
with cts and diode insertion
!important:
depends on SAVE_LIB patch from openlane
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
