Jean-Paul Chaput 95dd4ab8ff Add minimal DEF support to parse the Caravel harness for Sky130. 
* New: In CRL::DefImport, the previous version of the parser was designed
    only to read pure netlists, no physical components. Now add features
    for:
    * VIA generate statements. Generated VIAs are created as Cell and
      then instaciated wherever they are needed. Alternative would be
      to duplicate it's contents so the original netlist is not changed.
      But would create lot more objects.
    * PIN, added support for basic physical shapes.
    * SPECIALNETS and their associated wiring (path callback).
    Note: (to myself) As the Path is created *before* the NET or SPECIALNET
          callback is called, we must create a temporary net to store
          the path components. This is the "__prebuild__" net which
          will be merged later with the actual net.

===============
Coriolis README
===============

Coriolis is a free database, placement tool and routing tool for VLSI design.


Purpose
=======

Coriolis provides several tools to perform the layout of VLSI circuits.  Its
main components are the Hurricane database, the Etesian placer and the Katana
router, but other tools can use the Hurricane database and the parsers
provided.

The user interface <cgt> is the prefered way to use Coriolis, but all
Coriolis tools are Python modules and thus scriptable.


Documentation
=============

The complete documentation is available here, both in pdf & html:

   ./documentation/output/html
   ./documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuide.pdf

The documentation of the latest *stable* version is also
available online. It may be quite outdated from the *devel*
version.

    https://www-soc.lip6.fr/sesi-docs/coriolis2-docs/coriolis2/en/latex/users-guide/UsersGuide.pdf


Building Coriolis
=================

To build Coriolis, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

* Python 2.7.
* cmake.
* boost.
* bison & flex.
* Qt 4 or 5.
* libxml2.
* RapidJSON
* A C++11 compliant compiler.

The build system relies on a fixed directory tree from the root
of the user currently building it. Thus first step is to get a clone of
the repository in the right place. Proceed as follow: ::

   ego@home:~$ mkdir -p ~/coriolis-2.x/src/support
   ego@home:~$ cd ~/coriolis-2.x/src/support
   ego@home:~$ git clone http://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson
   ego@home:~$ git checkout ec322005072076ef53984462fb4a1075c27c7dfd
   ego@home:~$ cd ~/coriolis-2.x/src
   ego@home:src$ git clone https://www-soc.lip6.fr/git/coriolis.git
   ego@home:src$ cd coriolis

If you want to use the *devel* branch: ::

    ego@home:coriolis$ git checkout devel

Then, build the tool: ::

    ego@home:coriolis$ make install

Coriolis gets installed at the root of the following tree: ::

    ~/coriolis-2.x/<OS>.<DISTRIB>/Release.Shared/install/

Where ``<OS>`` is the name of your operating system and ``<DISTRIB>`` your
distribution.


Using Coriolis
==============

The Coriolis main interface can be launched with the command: ::

    ego@home:~: ~/coriolis-2.x/<OS>.<DISTRIB>/Release.Shared/install/bin/coriolis

The ``coriolis`` script detects its location and setups the UNIX
environment appropriately, then lauches ``cgt`` (or *any* command, with the
``--run=<COMMAND>`` option).

Conversely, you can setup the current shell environement for Coriolis by 
using the helper ``coriolisEnv.py``, then run any Coriolis tool: ::

    ego@home:~$ eval `~/coriolis-2.x/src/coriolis/bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py`
    ego@home:~$ cgt -V
