* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
