* Change: In NetBuilder::getPositions(), ordering of source/target points
is now integrated to this function instead of left to the caller.
In case of real (non-symbolic) routing gauge, skrink the ends of
half the wire width.
* Change: In NetBuilderHV::doRp_AutoContacts(), in case of non-METAL1
RoutingPad, put the axis of the segment on the nearest track.
Issue a warning if we have to shift, as it may be a potential
source of routing problems.
* New: Anabatic::Session::getNearestTrackaAxis(), proxy to compute
track positions, knowing the design abutment box.
* Bug: In Katana::PreProcess::propagateCagedConstraints(), when
looking at all the slave components anchoreds on a RoutingPad,
if they do not have an AutoSegment lookup, skip them instead
of crashing.
* New: In cumulus/plugins.block.Block.placeMacro(), new method to
place a macro cell, partly delegating to the Macro block wrapper.
Must be called *after* both core and corona abutment boxes have
been set.
Adjust the macro block position so the METAL2 & METAL3 pins
are exactly on pitch regarding the full routing grid. The reference
being the corona.
A shift, less than one pitch may be applied, leading in some
cases of overlapping abutment boxes. But this shouldn't be a
problem.
The macro to place is designated through a path of instances
names, rooted at the *core* (not the corona). Meaning that the
head instance must be one of the core.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins.chip.Chip, the complete chip I/O pads
plus corona and core placement is moved out from doPnR() and
put into doChipFloorplan(). It is now mandatory to call this
method *before* doPnR().
Those methods are now cleanly separated so we can perform macro
block placement or any inner core floorplaning operations between
them.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins.macro.Macro, instead of creating large
pads for the I/O pins so whatever the block position, they will
be under a grid point, create a simple dogleg to put them on
grid.
To ensure that they are "on grid", the block pins must be
in METAL2 (horizontal E/W) or METAL3 (vertical N/S) and the block
is assumed to be placed so the bottom left corner of it's
abutment box is exactly on one grid point for M2/M3.
This should be done by Block.placeMacro().
