* Switch back to a generated version of the documentation.
Dependencies for the documentation generation have been added to poetry.
As Pelican is a Python tool, that makes sense.
Note to myself: To generate the doc with ccb.py we *need* to be inside
the Python virtual env generated by Poetry. Instead of
relying of a default one, provide one of our own
(coriolis-venv) and make poetry run in it.
* Top builder.py now generated the doc.
* Forgot to remove generated PDFs in the documentation.
* A bit of cleanup on the README.rst
* Forgot the logo. Try to use code-block directive in README.
* Still typo in the logo path.
* One more trial at setting the image position.
* OK. That's enough for the logo.
* Problems with code-block.
* Voila!
* Build inside a venv and use poetry in the top level Makefile.
* Remove doxygen generated docs.
* More doc cleanup in oroshi.
* Change: In documentation/build.py, more PEP8 & Python 3 future compliance.
Correct copy of the tools HTML docs on my laptop, to have a full
offline copy of the doc.
* New: In documentation/contents/pages/check-toolkit, duplicate the doc
from alliance-check-toolkit README. Seems it has been inadvertently
removed at some point (?). Have to be careful to maintain in synch
with the toolkit.
* Change: <tool>/doc/*/SoC.css, use Roboto fonts when availables.
* Update: Commit the whole pre-generated docs (Doxygen, Pelican).
* Change: In CRL/helpers, cumulus/plugins, oroshi & karakaze,
Move towards more Python PEP8 compliance:
* All indentations sets to 4 spaces (in progress).
* In plugins, remove messages about software collections
and RHEL (too many case could wrongly lead to that).
Instead systematically uses "helpers.io.catch()".
* Put in lowercases all modules names. Note that C++ exported
modules *keep* their Capitalized names (to preserve the
identity with the C++ namespace).
* When making import, use full path.
* Rename the run function from "ScriptMain()" to "scriptMain()".
* Cleanup: In CRL/etc, remove obsoleted configuration files,
the one ending in ".conf". Keep those who have not been ported
to the new style yet.
* New: In Hurricane/src/configuration, first trial at replacing the
C preprocessor macros by C++ templates. Applied first to configuration
from VLSISAPD.
This is unfinished business, just a limited demonstrator for now.
It is installed as a separate Python library "Cfg2" which do not
interact with the rest of Coriiolis.
The end goal is to fully remove boost and merge VLSISAPD useful
components directly inside Hurricane.
* Change: In documentation, now generate the overall documentation using
Pelican instead of Sphinx. This allows to have an unified approach
between the coriolis.lip6.fr website and the local documentation.
So we keep using "only" two doc generators: doxygen & Pelican.
* New: In bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py, add the "etc" directory to the
PYTHONPATH as initialization are now Python modules.
* New: In Hurricane/analogic, first groundwork for the integration of
PIP/MIM/MOM multi-capacitors. Add C++ and Python interface for the
allocation matrix and the list of capacities values.
* Change: In Hurricane::RegularLayer, add a layer parameter to the
constructor so the association between the RegularLayer and it's
BasicLayer can readily be done.
* Change: In Hurricane::Layer, add a new getCut() accessor to get the
cut layer in ViaLayer.
* Change: In Hurricane::DataBase::get(), the Python wrapper should no
longer consider an error if the data-base has not been created yet.
Just return None.
* Bug: In Isobar::PyLayer::getEnclosure() wrapper, if the overall
enclosure is requested, pass the right parameter to the C++ function.
* Change: In AllianceFramework, make public _bindLibraries() and export
it to the Python interface.
* Change: In AllianceFramework::create(), do not longer call bindLibraries().
This now must be done explicitely and afterwards.
* Change: In AllianceFramework::createLibrary() and
Environement::addSYSTEM_LIBRARY(), minor bug corrections that I don't
recall.
* Change: In SearchPath::prepend(), set the selected index to zero and
return it.
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, add "etc" to the PYTHONPATH as the
configuration files are now organized as Python modules.
* New: In PyCRL, export the CRL::System singleton, it's creation is no
longer triggered by the one of AllianceFramework.
* New: In CRL/etc/, convert most of the configuration files into the
Python module format. For now, keep the old ".conf", but that are no
longer used.
For the real technologies, we cannot keep the directory name as
"180" or "45" as it not allowed by Python syntax, so we create "node180"
or "node45" instead.
Most of the helpers and coriolisInit.py are no longer used now.
To be removed in future commits after being sure that everything
works...
* Bug: In AutoSegment::makeDogleg(AutoContact*), the layer of the contacts
where badly computed when one end of the original segment was attached
to a non-preferred direction segment (mostly on terminal contacts).
Now use the new AutoContact::updateLayer() method.
* Bug: In Dijkstra::load(), limit symetric search area only if the net
is a symmetric one !
* Change: In Katana/python/katanaInit.py, comply with the new initialisation
scheme.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, comply to the new inititalization scheme.
* Change: In cumulus various Python scripts remove the call to
helpers.staticInitialization() as they are not needed now (we run in
only *one* interpreter, so we correctly share all init).
In plugins/__init__.py, read the new NDA directory variable.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins/Chip.doCoronafloorplan(), self.railsNb was not
correctly managed when there was no clock.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/Configuration.coronaContactArray(), compute
the viaPitch from the technology instead of the hard-coded 4.0 lambdas.
In Configuration.loadConfiguration(), read the "ioring.py" from
the new user's settings module.
* Bug: In stratus.dpgen_ADSB2F, gives coordinates translated into DbU to
the XY functions.
In st_model.Save(), use the VstUseConcat flag to get correct VST files.
In st_net.hur_net(), when a net is POWER/GROUND or CLOCK also make it
global.
* Change: In Oroshi/python/WIP_Transistor.py, encapsulate the generator
inside a try/except block to get prettier error (and stop at the first).
* Change: In Hurricane::CellWidget, set the minimal size to 350 pixels
to fit my normal DPI secondary screen...
* Change: In Hurricane::Error(), reactivate the backtrace generation by
default. Seriously slow down the program each time an Error is to
be constructed.
* Bug: In Analog::Device::preCreate(), check for NULL Technology before
attempting to use it.
* Change: In Hurricane/Analog, remove all '*Arguments*' classes and their
Python interface. It was an obsoleted way of passing devices parameters
to the Python layout generators (located in Oroshi). Now we just get
them straight from the Device with the getParamter() method.
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, add Python pathes for Oroshi & Karakaze.
* Change: In Oroshi/Python/WIP_*.py layout generator scripts, remove
all uses of the "Arguments". Directly access the parameters through
the device itself. Make the checkCoherency() with identical arguments
as of layout().
* New: Bora tool that performs analog place & route. Based on a slicing
tree representation. It is the thesis work of Eric Lao.
Code beautyfication and some programming cleanup.
* New: Karakaze tool, provide the Python base class AnalogDesign used
to build an analog design. Create/configure devices and assemble
them in a slicing tree.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, display the stack trace in case of an
ImportError exception as well as for other exceptions.
Add Bora to the set for included tool engines.
* Change: In boostrap, remove support for Chams.
* New: In Hurricane::Technology, added support for DTR rules, UnitRule,
PhysicalRule and TwoLayersPhysicalrule. Added devices descriptors and
models descriptors (for Spice). Spice description is not used yet
but kept anyway in case of future use.
* New: Hurricane::Analog whole library and it's Python interface. This
provides support for transistors, capacitors and resistors. Only
transistor support is fully implemented as of now.
* New: In CRL/python/coriolisInit.py, read configuration files for the
Analog extension (analog.conf & devices.conf). Thoses are optionals
and a simple warning is issued if not found.
Added helpers/AnalogTechno.py DTR loading helper.
Add analog configuration files for 180/scn6m_deep_09.
* New: Oroshi tool that provides actual layout drawing for transistors.
* Change: In all tools supplying documentation, as we use some specific
software to create the doc, they may not be available, or worse, be
and incompatible version. So, by default, we install the files shipped
with the git repository. To force a full doc rebuild, use the "--doc"
flag of ccb.py.
When upgrading from doxygen 1.5.x to 1.8.5 the way the documentation
is generated has underwent many changes, particularly in the headers.
* Change: In <header.html>, must include the javascripts <jquery.js>
and <dynsections.js>.
* In <CMakeLists.txt>, as the header is customized, doxygen seems not
copy some files like the javascripts and some images (open.png,
closed.png). So we copy them from doxygen installation and make
the CMakeLists.txt install them. I hope they will not change too
much in the future.
* In <doxyfile>, disable markdown support as it do not interpret
correctly the formating we already adopted (with a left margin
to put command into). Use HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET instead of
HTML_STYLESHEET. Enable the index (DISABLE_INDEX=NO), for the
top header. Enable dot for inheritance diagram. Set the
EXAMPLE_PATH=. to include the synthetic hierarchy.
Correct the tag inclusion (faulty path in some places).
* In <SoC.css>, create style for the new header generated by doxygen.
* In the documentation, move the synthetic hierarchy into a module.
Documentation restructuration:
* Bug: in <hurricane>: bad figure for transf-R1.
* Change, in <kite>: Remove deprecated configuration variables.
* New: documentation <tool> to regroup all documentation not directly
related to one tool.
* Change, in <crlcore>, move the user's guide and the top doc index
into <documentation>.
* New, in <documenation>: added Python script demo based on AM2901.
- Change: In Cell, added doc about PlacementStatus.
- Change: In Transformation, more detailed explanations about the
orientations. A little beautifying too...
- Change: RoutingPad doc update.
- Change: Entity doc update (for id).
- Change: In HTML header/footer uses the new SoC.css.
* ./crlcore/src:
- Change: In DefDriver, added support for placement exportation.
- New: In Utility, added a "paranoid" output stream (for my extra
warnings in the router).
- Bug: In ApParser, correct parsing of connectors index (recreate
the vector).
- Change: In alliance.conf, make "blockageNet" case insensitive.
- Change: In misc.conf, added support for paranoid stream.
- Change: In x2y and CyclopMain correct verbose flags positionning.
* ./crlcore/doc:
- Change: Updated style and added some documenation.
- Bug: In Histogram::addSample(), reject the sample if iset is superior
OR EQUAL to the sets size...
- Change: In etc/mauka.conf, sets "mauka.standardAnnealing" to True. Otherwise,
when hMetis (4-part) is not used, this leads toward very poor placements.
- New: In UsersGuide, add a third style variant for the soc-extras site.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./crlcore:
- New: In Utilities, cbug stream to separate all the scary messages
from Kite/Katabatic and maybe others.
- New: In stratus1.conf, adds default settings previously in st_config.
- New: Moves Python configuration helpers from under /etc/coriolis2
into PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES/crlcore. Adapt Utilities so coriolisInit.py
is now searched in that directory. This way only true configuration
files remains under /etc/coriolis2
- Change: In helpers/__init__.py, do not try to guess the sysConfDir
when not run through coriolisInit.py. This is done by exploring the
call stack with traceback.
- Change: In ApDriver, when a physical view is driven, update the flag
in the catalog state telling that this view is present. This is far
from satisfactory as this flag should be set as soon as any physical
component is created.
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./crlcore:
- New: Extented Python support for all objects needed to configure Coriolis.
- New: Configuration files and load helpers completly written in Python.
An XML emulation mode is still avalaible.
- New: UsersGuide, as a replacement for README, written in ReST.
- New: Start of Doxygen documentation (mostly for documenting the initialisation
objects & methods).
- New: Install a general index for the HTML documentation.
- Bug: In cyclop CMakeLists, forgot to list all the needed libraries for
the linker.
- New: Support of Python installation layout under Ubuntu 10.04.
lib/python2.6/dist-packages
DO NOT name two files with the same name with only case difference !
Mac osx is by default formated as NON case sensitive system file.
key_k.fig becomes key_k_.fig
key_k.png becomes key_k_.png
key_K.fig and key_K.png are not modified
IMPORTANT: this is a temporary update to allow me to finally checkout crlcore but need to be corrected by the author
- Change: When static linking is required, also switch Boost libraries in static
mode. Automatically done is modules using FindHURRICANE through
SET_LIB_LINK_MODE(). Note: FindBoost must be called *after* SET_LIB_LINK_MODE().
- New: Adds a README.tex describing the essentials features of Coriolis2.
- New: Support for LaTeX in CMake through the macros supplieds by Sandia.
- Change: Adds support for installation of config file in system-wide
/etc.
