* 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.
- New: Added an id on DBo, SharedName and SharedPath to ensure
database determinism. All the hash key now uses the id instead
of the object's pointer (see _getHashValue()).
- Change: In RoutingPad, position is now only relative to the anchor,
no more (dx,dy). Add a isPlacedOccurrence() to check if all the
occurrence in the path are fixed and thus the position meaningful.
* ./hurricane/doc/hurricane:
- 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.
- New: In hurricane/doc, added documentation RoutingPad, HyperNet & Query.
- New: In isobar, added support for RoutingPad.
- Change: In PyComponent, getCenter() method moved to it's right place in
the base class.
- Change: In PyPath, added duplicated methods (ApplyOn <-> applyOn and
Invert <-> invert).
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./hurricane/doc/hurricane:
- New: Documentation cleanup and update, particularly on the new Layer
derived classes.
* ./hurricane/src/hurricane,
./hurricane/src/isobar,
./hurricane/src/viewer:
- New: Creation of new methods, more explicit on DbU. Based on a to/from
naming scheme.
- New: Python support extented to include all objects needed to configure
through python scripts.
- Change: Finally understood what's causing the _XOPEN_SOURCE redefinition.
Basically the Python.h must be included first before any other
include. The type-puned problem will remains still (that is a Python
problem, not our own).
- Change: In DisplayStyle, uses shared_ptr for DrawingStyle instead of
custom made reference count.
- Change: adopt a tree layout compliant with the UNIX FHS.
* includes under TOP/include/coriolis2.
* shared datas under TOP/shared/coriolis2.
* docs under TOP/share/doc/coriolis2.
* configuration under TOP/etc/coriolis2
* ./crlcore:
- Change: In Environment, comply to the new tree layout, search configuration
files under TOP/etc/coriolis2/.
* ./knik:
- Change: In flute, comply to the new tree layout, get the "POW*.dat" files
from TOP/share/coriolis2/flute-2.4.
- Change: In the CMakeLists.txt, in all the install commands remove all
the leading "/" as they prevents the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to be took
into account. It was nevertheless working because buildCoriolis.py was
using DESTDIR which is prepended anyway.
* ./goodies:
- Change: In buildCoriolis.py, no longer uses the DESTDIR but instead
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
