Jean-Paul Chaput eab4a4aa7f In BlifParser, correct management of alias to $true/$false for terminals.
* Bug: In CRL/BlifParser::Model::mergeAlias(), when a signal is aliased
    toward $true or $false in a Blif file (through a ".name" statement),
    it was directly merged to "vdd" (resp. "vss"), and if it is an
    external signal, this leads to its removal, potentially making "hole"
    in its interface.
      Now, create a gate zero or one for each tied up/low signal. This
    way the interface is fully kept. At the cost of some supplemental
    gates.

Jean-Paul Chaput 5d968b0997 Add nMigen to docker & chroot images.
* New: In bootsrap/docker:
    * install python3/nMigen tool in all environment.
    * Add a new image on top of the coriolis one to have a shell
      (with X11 connexion to the host system).
    * Upgrade Yosys to 0.9.
    * Correct integration of allianceInstaller.sh in socInstaller.py.
    * Add a chroot mode to socInstaler.py (for Debian 9 chrooted).
    * Allow benchs to be run separately.

Jean-Paul Chaput 068740601c Created docker images to check rebuild on various distributions.
* New: In bootstrap/docker, paraphernalia to rebuild and check Coriolis
    for Debian 9, Ubuntu 18 & SL 7 on pristine systems. Added scripts
    to rebuild Alliance as well and perform the alliance-check-toolkit
    regression tests.
* Change: Updated installation documentation. Added a section for docker.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6ea7a6f1f3 Forgotten socInstaller.py file in previous commit, stupid! 2020-02-09 11:45:04 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2f81f454e6 Updating socInstaller.py for docker cases.
* New: In bootstrap/socInstaller.py, partial redesign of group of commands
    to better handles all the cases. Added support for docker context,
    and added Alliance compilation "alongside" Coriolis (merged install
    tree).
* Change: In bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py, when run in a docker container we
    no longer can trust the kernel name to guess the OS, as the kernel is
    the one of the host and not the docker guest. This was causing problem
    for determining the Python site-package directory. Now just check all
    possible locations and stop at the first directory found.

Jean-Paul Chaput 0dc98dfce3 Migrating doc from Sphinx towards Pelican.
* 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 057501a8df Capacitor & resistor integration in the Slicing Tree.
* New: In Karakaze/Oceane.py, now also read capacitor & resistors parameters.
    In AnalogDesign.readParameters(), get the capacitor parameters from
    Oceane into the "device spec" (dspec). Translate form OSI unit to
    Coriolis units (F -> pF).
* Bug: In Bora::NodeSets::create(), Capacitor matrix parameters where never
    read due to a misplaced curly brace (at the matrixRange dynamic_cast<>
    test).
* Change: In Bora/PyDSlicingNode, now check that the parameter is either
    a StepParameterRange or a MatrixParameterRange.
      Also add a check that the Instance name exists...
* Bug: In Bora::SlicingPlotWidget::updateSelectedPoint(), as we display
    only the transistor parameters in dynamic labels, do not forget to
    skip resistor and capacitor. Otherwise we end up in out of bound
    access in the vector of labels.

Jean-Paul Chaput eea67a9111 Added static bloat profile in Katana.
* Change: In bootstrap/FindBoostrap.cmake, remove the -fsanitize=address
    as it requires the "san" librarie which may be difficult to install.
* Change: In CRL/symbolic/cmos45/kite.py, decrease the METAL3 pitch from
    10l to 8l. This is for testing with 4 routing metal only technology
    like AMS c35b4 symbolic.
* Change: In Katana/BloatProfile, add static bloat option, that is, only
    cell bloated in the first pass will be bloated again in subsequent
    ones.
      Add a "katana.bloatOverloadAdd" parameter to more easily control the
    amount added to the computed overload.
* Change: In Oroshi, start integration of multi capacitors as generator.
    Translate generator parameter into CapacitorStack ones. Add code for
    routing unit capacitor.

Jean-Paul Chaput 26610ba80c Fixe bad Python exception catch for C-launched scripts.
* In Hurricane::Viewer::Script::runFunction() & callFunction(), when the
    script returns NULL, do not immediately return but first check if an
    exception has been set. If so, print it *then* clear it.
      Due to not clearing the exception we where seeing one later with
    no relation to the true problem.
* In Oroshi/python/Rules.py, a bad test structure was discarting all the
    "no layer rule with physical length" in the loading process. It was
    blocked by the physical unit rule special cases.

Jean-Paul Chaput e711ce8dd2 More configuration parameters for P&R Conductor, for experimenting.
* Change: In Hurricane::Viewer::ExceptionWidget & CRL/python/helpers/io.py,
    downscale icons for non-HiDPI screen.
* Change: In CRL/etc/common/display.py, change the display threshold of
    METAL1 layer so it do not appear at high scaling.
* New: In Etesian, activate the "setFixedAbHeight()" feature and export it
    to Python. Allows to increase the space margin at constant height.
      To be used by the P&R conductor.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, when running a script, insert the current
    working directory at head of the sys.path, not at the end. So installed
    modules do not shadow local one.
* New: In Anabatic::Edge, new accessor "getRawcapacity()" to know the full
    capacity of the edge, that is, the real maximum number of tracks that
    can go through the associated side.
* Change: In Katana/BloatProfile/Slice::tagsOverloaded(), bloating policy
    change, now bloat all the instances under the GCell, not only the first
    one.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::runGlobalRouter(), restore the search halo growth
    policy to expanding of 3 GCells every 3 iterations.
      New metrics displayed, the edge wire length length overload.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/ConductorPlugin.py, now accepts the following
    configuration parameters:
      - "anabatic.globalIterationsEstimate", maximum number of global
        iterations during the bloating computation passes.
      - "conductor.useFixedAbHeight", tells wether the additionnal blank
        space must be added so the aspect ratio is kept or the height is
	kept (and the block become wider).
    Disable the display of "rubber" to unclutter a little the view.

Jean-Paul Chaput 09eccacfee Various fixes for Katana::BloatProfile.
* Bug: In Katana::BloatProfile::FlatInstance for X & Y calculation of
    flattened instances reserse the order of transformation. We must apply
    the occurrence path transformation to the instance transformation,
    and not the other way around.
      Was causing the bug in SNX example.
* Bug: In Katana::BloatProfile::Slice::tagOverloadeds(), the underlying
    Gcell was not kept in synch with the instance. This was causing a right
    shift of the bloated area.
* New: In Katana::BloatProfile, add the selection of overloaded edges and
    failed nets.
      Add a flag to KatanaEngine::runGlobalrouter() to choose what failed/
    overloaded components to display (selectors).

Jean-Paul Chaput 68e45bc5ab Groudwork for routing density driven placement. Compliance with clang 5.0.1.
This commit contains two set of features that should have been commited
separately.
  1. Compliance with clang 5.0.1, tested with the RedHat collection
     llvm-toolset-7. This allow Coriolis to be compiled under Darwin (MacOS)
     with Xcode & macports. The bootstrap install system has been modificated
     accordingly.
  2. The basic support for routing density driven placement. Related
     features are:
     * Bloat property. Each Occurrence of an Instance can be individually
       bloated. This property not attached to any tool to allow the placer and
       router to share it as wanted. Nevertheless, it is defined in Etesian.
     * BloatProfile in Katana, add individual Bloat properties to Instances
       occurrences based on the East & North overflowed edges of each GCell.
     * Support in ToolEngine for a "pass number" of a tool. This pass number
       is mainly used to make "per pass" measurements. The MeasureSet system
       is improved accordingly to support multiple values of a same measure.
     * Embryo of "P&R Conductor" to perform the place & route loop until the
       design is successfully placed. May be the first brick of a Silicon
       Compiler.

* Change: In boostrap/FindBoostrap.cmake, in setup_boost(), added tag to
    the python component for macport (ex: python27).
* Change: In boostrap/build.conf, put etesian before anabatic for
    instance occurrence BloatProperty dependency.
      Added option support for the "llvm-toolset-7" collection to build
    against clang 5.0.1.
* Bug: In Hurricane::getRecord( const pair<T,U>& ), the getSlot<> templates
    for first & second arguments must be called with <const T> and <const U>
    as the pair itself is const (and not simply <T> & <U>).
* Change: In Hurricane::getSlot() temlate, only use "string" arguments and
    not const string&, simpler for template argument deduction.
* Bug: In Hurricane::AnalogCellExtension, the StandardPrivateProperty<>
    template has a static member "_name". Clang did show that the template
    for this static number has to be put inside the namespace where the
    template *is defined* (i.e. Hurricane) instead of the namespace where
    it is instanciated (i.e. Analog).
* Bug: In Isobar, Matrix_FromListOfList(), PyInt_AsPlacementStatus() must
    be put outside the C linkage back in the Isobar C++ namespace (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::DBo::~DBo, and derived add a throw() specification
    (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::RegularLayer::getEnclosure() & setEnclosure(), change
    signature so it matches the one of the base class (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::CellPrinter, use double brackets for initializer list
    (clang).
* Change: In Hurricane::Breakpoint, reverse the meaning of the error level.
    Only error level *lesser or equal* than the stop level will be enabled.
* Bug: In CRL/python/helpers/__init__.loadUserSettings(), must put the
    current working directory in the sys.path as in certain configuration
    it may not be included.
* Bug: In CRL::ApDriver, DumpSegments(), no longer generate segments when
    encountering a RoutingPad on a top-level Pin Occurrence. The segment
    was generated in the wrong direction, creating DRC violations on the
    "mips_core_flat" example.
* Change: In CRL::Measures, partial re-design of the measurements management.
    Now, each kind of measure can accept multiple values put in a vector.
    The index is intented to match a tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::Histogram, add support for multiple sets of datas,
    indexeds with tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::ToolEngine, add support for multiple pass number, add
    addMeasure<> templates for the various data-types.
* Change: In CRL::gdsDriver & CRL::gdsParser(), comment out unused GDS record
    name constants.
* New: Etesian::BloatProperty, property to attach to Instance occurrences
    that contains the extra number of pitch to add to the cell width.
* Bug: In AutoSegment::CompareByDepthLength, the segment length comparison
    was wrong, it was always returning true, which broke the "strick weak
    ordering" of the comparison.
      This was producing a core-dump in GCell::updateDensity() when sorting
    a vector<>. The end() iterator was being dereferenced, leading to the
    problem.
* Bug: In Katana::DataSymmetric::checkPairing(), the test for segments
    whose axis is perpandicular to the symmetry axis was wrong
    ("!=" instead of "-").
* New: In Katana/GlobalRoute, new ::selectSegments(), selectOverloadedgcells()
    and selectBloatedInstances() to automatically select segments from
    overloaded edges, overloaded GCells and bloated cells.
* Change: In KatanaEngine, return a more detailed success state, distinguish
    between global and detailed.
      Add support for multiple routing iterations.
* New: In cumulus/python/plugins/ConductorPlugin.py, embryo of routing
    driven placement.
2019-12-09 01:57:44 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a3b006a809 Add templates for derived Key in DBo::CompareById::oprator() [gcc 8].
* Change: In Hurricane::DBo::CompareById, starting from gcc 8, the compare
    function is checked inside the STL map<>/set<> so the lhs & rhs arguments
    are of the exact type of the Key, even excluding a base class.
      So now, in complement of the normal function, we provide a templated
    comparison functor in CompareById.
2019-12-01 13:31:33 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5ee4487d95 Bug fixes in SlicingTree, bad refcount incrementation of BoxSet.
* Bug: In Bora::BoxSet::destroy(), perform the actual destroy only when
    the reference count reaches zero.
      In Bora::HVBoxSet CTOR, when duplicating the vector<BoxSet*> arguments,
    we must increase the refcount of the all the BoxSet.
      The refcounting mecanism of the BoxSet & NodeSet is badly implemented
    and should need a full reviewing and redesigning.
2019-11-22 18:29:09 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5f53487036 Added RPOLYH & RPOLY2PH types to ResistorFamily. 2019-11-22 11:32:48 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f38945d200 Various bug fixes (Selection, Measures/Histogram, helpers).
* Bug: In CRL/python/helpers/__init__.py, in textPythonTrace(), when an
    ErrorMessage was catched, the trace parameter was not correctly
    extracted leading to an "exception in exception".
* New: In Isobar/PyCell, exported Cell::getNonLeafInstanceOccurrences()
    collection.
* New: In Isobar/PyTransformation, type is now built so the tp_compare
    is linked to the C++ operator==().
* Change: In Hurricane::SelectionModel, Hurricane::SelectionWidget and
    CellWidget, no longer use Occurrences but directly the Selector property.
      We also use the Selector to know if an Occurrence is selected by
    looking at that property on it's Quark. This avoid a very lengthy
    search in vector when there is many elements (say > 10000).
      NOTE: This is a bad implementation as there is a confusion between
    beeing selected (that is, having a Selector property attached to
    an Occurrence Quark) and being actually displayed as selected.
    This lead to awkward implatation of the various "toggle" methods.
    Have to rethink that more clearly later.
* Bug: In CRL::Histogram, the non-inline template full specialisation
    of Measure<Histogram> must not be put in the header but in the module
    to avoid multiple definition and link failure. They are actually
    real, classic functions.
2019-11-22 00:24:47 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 39cd831a57 Added message when loading the technology/configuration files.
* New: In CRL/python/helpers.io, vprint() wrapper around print to display
    messages according to the verbose level.
      In etc/*, add messages in every configuration files so we may know
    under which we are running.
2019-11-15 14:40:59 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ef2635b9f3 Etesian should use the CellGauge slice step when adding the feed cells.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine, it was using the vertical track pitch from the
    routing gauge, but it may differ from the cell pitch. For example in
    "cmos350" the cell step is 10 lambdas while the vertical routing
    pitch may be only 8 lambdas.
      This bug shows because now we try to use the non-PinOnly routing
    gauge for the reference routing gauge.
2019-11-15 12:26:14 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 92edd9ba31 New implementation for the Python hash and compare methods.
* Change: In Hurricane::Isobar/PyHurricane.h, make the hash function use
    the DBo id whenever possible instead of the object pointer, fall back
    to it for standalone objects (Box like one). The DirectHashMethod()
    macro generate a C style function (linkage) which call a template
    function "getPyHash<>()" that uses a SFINAE mechanism to select
    the right variant.
      Create two comparison macros DirectCmpByPtrMethod() and
    DirectCmpByValueMethod() to customize the comparison for objects that
    have C++ operator==(). So now two boxes with the same contents will
    be seen equal by Python. For DBo objects we keep the previous
    comparison by C++ pointer.

Jean-Paul Chaput 85540c9a58 Added capacitor documentation in Oroshi, and generated. 2019-11-13 23:43:04 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f130417232 Various bug fixes for Analog P&R. OK for GM/Chamla & OTA/Miller.
* Change: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge::getHorizontalGauge(), when selecting
    the default gauge, try, if possible to avoid the PinOnly one.
      Same goes for the vertical one.
* Bug: In Katana::TrackCost CTOR, symmetric track axis position was wrong,
    was using the reference instead of the symmetric.
* Bug: In BoraEngine::updatePlacement(), set up the Dijkstra search halo
    to one pitch so it can use immediately neighboring channels.
* New: In BoraEngine, added python startup hook like in Katana. Mainly
    to setup debug nets.
2019-11-13 23:31:51 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1e4b8b4647 Added support for extra resistor rules in Hurricane::Technology.
* New: In BasicLayer::Material, added "info" kind of material for layers
    that are only informationals (i.e. not real GDS one). Created to
    store geometric combination of layers, this is a temporary solution.
      Have to define a clearer semantic for that.
* New: In CRL/helpers/AnalogTechno.py, new "Count" type for count numbers
    that must not go through DbU::Unit converter. They are plain integers,
    but stored in DbU::Unit (keeping track of that semantic is left to
    the user).
2019-11-13 16:09:38 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 88235dc3a4 Added Resistor support. Completed Capacitor & Resistor support in Bora.
* New: In Analog, added Analog::ResitorFamily & Analog::Resistor classes.
* New: In Analog, added inspector support for all Parameter classes.
* New: In Analog, new FloatParameter class (for resistor value).
* New: In CRL/etc/scn6m_deep_09/devices.py, added resistor device.
* New: In Oroshi, support for Resistors, stub for ResistorSnake generator.
* New: In Bora::DNodeSets, added support for Resistor devices.
* Change: In Bora::DSlicingNode, rename setNFing()/getNFing() into
    setBoxSetIndex()/getBoxSetIndex() for semantic coherency.
* New: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, added support for Resistor.
    Change in addDevice(), the span which was only meaningful for
    transistor devices is replaced by a parameter argument.
      The parameter argument has to be consistent with the device type.
2019-11-12 02:21:03 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9d86282b8f In Cyclop CMakeLists, cleanup the switch Qt4/Qt5. 2019-11-10 12:28:50 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a8a904180d In AllianceFramework::createCell(), handle non-existent library. 2019-11-08 00:18:23 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8035b31f27 First stage in analog capacitor integration
* Bug: In Technology::getPhysicalRule(), if the named layerdo not exists,
    throw an exception instead of silently putting a NULL pointer inside
    a rule.
* New: In Hurricane/Analog, new parameters classes for capacitor devices:
    - Analog::Matrix, a matrix of null or positives integers to encode
      capacitor matrix matching.
    - Analog::Capacities, a list of float values for all component of a
      multi-capacitor.
* New: In Hurricane::Script, add a "getFileName()" method to get the full
    path name of the Python module.
* Change: In Analog::LayoutGenerator, completly remove the logger utility
    as it is no longer used. Simply print error messages instead.
* Change: In Analog::MetaCapacitor, rename top & bottom plate 'T' & 'B'.
    Accessors renamed in "getTopPlate()" & "getBottomPlate()".
* New: In Analog::MultiCapacitor, complete rewrite. Makes use of the
    new parameters "capacities" and "matrix". Dynamically generates it's
    terminals as we do not know beforehand how many capacitors could be
    put in it.
* Bug: In isobar/PyHurricane.h, in Type object definition, do not prepend
    a "Py" to class name (so the keep the C++ name).
* Change: In CRL/etc/scn6m_deep_09/devices.py, add entry for the new
    capacitor generator.
* New: In oroshi/python/ParamsMatrix, add a "family" entry in the [0,0]
    element to distinguish between transistor, capacitor and resistor.
    (this is the matrix of values returned to the LayoutGenerator after
     device generation).
      Now have one "setGlobalParams()" function per family.
* New: In oroshi/python/Rules.py, added DTR rules needed by capacitors.
    Catch exceptions if something wrong append when we extract the rules
    from the technology.
* New: In Bora, the devices are no longer *only* transistors, so the
    possibles configurations are no longer defined only by a number of
    fingers. We must be able to support any kind of range of configuration.
      So the explicit range of number of fingers is replaced by a base
    class ParameterRange, and it's derived classes:
      - Bora::StepParameterRange, to encode the possible number of fingers
        of a transistor (the former only possibility).
      - Bora::MatrixParameterRange, to encode all the possible matching
        scheme for a capacitor. As there is no way to compress it, this
	is a vector of Matrix (from Analog).
* Change: In Bora::DSlicingNode::_place(), the ParameterRange has to be set
    on the right configuration (through the index) before being called.
      The generation parameters are taken from the active item in the
    ParameterRange.
* Change: In Bora::NodeSets::create(), iterate over the ParameterRange
    to build all the configuration. Adjustement to the routing gauge
    pitchs are moved into the DBoxSet CTOR to save a lot of code.
      Semantic change: the index in the NodeSets is now the index in
    the associated ParameterRange and no longer the number of fingers
    of a transistor.
      Check that the ParameterRange dynamic class is consitent with the
    device family.
* Change: In Bora::DBoxSet, same semantic change as for NodeSets, the
    number of finger become an index in ParameterRange.
      In DBoxSet::create(), now also perform the abutment box adjustement
    to the RoutingGauge, if possible.
* New: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, add support for Capacitor
    devices.
2019-11-07 17:05:49 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ef0f6f771a In Python scripts, if PyQt 4 fails to load, try PyQt 5.
* In CRL::Cyclop/CMakeLists.txt, add *again* the MOC files to the list
    of .cpp . Don't know what is happening here with MOC under Qt 5.
* In CRL/python/helpers.io, cleanly fails if neither PyQt 4 nor PyQt 5 is
    found. And tell it directly because this the module tasked to handle
    the exceptions/errors...
* In Cumulus/plugins/AboutWindow.py, try PyQt 4 then PyQt 5.
* In documentation/UsersGuide, now tells explicitely that Qt 4 must be

Jean-Paul Chaput 2c73cfe76c Migrating the initialisation system to be completely Python-like.
* 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).

Jean-Paul Chaput 2d8e26a467 Quick fix for Stratus1, missing cell mapping file. 2019-10-25 11:20:15 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1da71ae740 Bug when the METAL3 pitch is not multiple of METAL1.
* Bug: In Katana::SegmentFsm CTOR, when computing costs for METAL2 in
    non-preferred direction attached to METAL1 terminals, do not try to
    align on a METAL3 track, as there may be not. Especially when the
    METAL3 pitch is not multiple of the METAL1 one.
      Compute at least one cost (with the same axis as the vertical METAL1
    terminal).
* Change: In Etesian::BloatCells, adjust the "90%" bloat profile for a
    METAL3 pitch of 8 lambdas (sligh decrease).
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins/ChipPLace.py, import chip.Chip, not only chip.
2019-10-16 21:47:32 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 43ea63d98d New Etesian bloat profile "90%".
* New: In Etesian::BloatCells, new profile for hihgly saturated designs named
    "90%", as it add, on average, 90% of free space. This has been made for
    the "ao68000" of Staf Verhaegen and may needs some refinement as it is a
    bit brutal.
2019-10-13 17:52:03 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5bbeb0b062 Support for separated NDA tree. Big cleanup of the Python init system.
* Change: In Hurricane::Script, when running a script, no longer do it
    inside a Python sun-interpreter, use the current one. This way we
    no longer have our modules initialized twice or more, which was
    starting to be unmanageable (with the NDA support).
      The settings were re-read multiple time to the same value, so it
    was working, but still...
      I hope I didn't left some dangling Python objects now.
* Bug: In Hurricane::LayoutGenerator::drawLayout(), get the device abutment
    box though a Pyhon object *before* finalizing which removes that objet.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/__init__.py, add a "loadPlugins()" and static
    initialisation to preload plugins modules.
      We use that pre-loading step to append to the module __path__ attribute
    the alternate directory where a NDA covered may be found. This assume that
    the directory tree under the NDA root is identical to the one under the
    public root.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/chip/__init__.py, small utility function
    importContants() to import the constants inside another module namespace,
    to have more consise notations.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/, in the various plugins sub-modules import
    use the full path from plugins, that is, for example:
      from plugins.core2chip.CoreToChip import IoPad
* Change: In Unicorn/python/unicornInit.py, no longer directly load the
    plugins modules, this is now done by cumulus/plugins/__init__.py.
      Instead, iterate through sys.modules for the ones starting by "plugins/"
    and try to execute a Unicorn hook, if present.
* Change: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, update for the new Instance.create()
    prototype (added placement parameter).

Jean-Paul Chaput 5914e16f26 Added management for "phlib" I/O pad external connectors (for cougar/lvx).
* New: In CRL::ApDriver::DumpSegments(), drive as top-level segments the
    RoutingPads using a Pin, and not only using a segment. They are not
    exported as top level Pin but only as Segment as they do belong to
    a deeper level.
* New: In Cumulus/plugins/PadsCorona.Side._placePads(), now manage both
    "pxlib" and "phlib*". Pad library management is still hardcoded, this
    should be made a configuration option someday.
2019-10-05 16:04:12 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 02b30b6681 More terse failure message from the global router.
* Bug: In CRL::cstDriver(), re-activate the management of the VstUseConcat
    flag. Why was he removed in the first place?
* Change: In KatanaEngine::runGlobalRouter(), no longer give the details of
    each overflowed edge and the complete list of impacted nets.
    Only a count.
2019-09-29 18:35:16 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 6faf83309e Force pitching on dragged AutoContacts.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoContactTerminal::updateGeometry(), when a
    draggable AutoContact is moved, pitch it on the routing grid instead
    of putting it in lowest/highest position.
2019-09-26 01:16:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2bd18313d1 More tuning for ARMv2a (95% success, 38/40). Bugs in core2chip.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::updateDensity(), all non-passthrough wires
    now have a cost of 0.5 instead of 0.33 for locals.
* Change: In Manipulator::canMoveUp(), increase the "reserve" amount to
    1.0 for "far from terminal" wires (rpDistance > 2).
* Change: In NegociateWindow::NegociateOverlapCost(), always sets "AtRipupLimit"
    when the overlapping segment is nearing it's maximum ripup limit.
    (different detection for non-preferred and regular)
* Change: In SegmentFsm::_slackenStrap(), call avoidBlockage() if it is
    overlapping a blockage *or* a segment at it's ripup limit. I hope I
    didn't create an infinite loop here.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins/PadsCorona.py, CoreWire._computeCoreLayers(),
    the big contact between symbolic and real was badly computed for
    east/west (was using width instead of height, bummer!).
      In Corona._createCoreWire(), completly screwed computation of the
    side gap, was using a badly initialized value of the "bb" variable.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins/Chip.py, the computation of the minimal size
    for the corona was wrong, do *not* add the size of the pads and
    multiply by two as it is done by "inflate". This was forcing the user
    to create way to large chips for a given core size.
