set the channel description: Fault (OS DFT toolchain) discussion

Hi @User please ask your question here

Hi I am trying 'Fault' by using its docker image but could not find the following file in the repository.

RTL/ISCAS_89/s27.v

I found this particular file here and moved it to the RTL directory. https://github.com/Cloud-V/Fault/tree/master/Benchmarks/ISCAS_89 But later on I also could not find the following "An example json file could be found at s27.v.tv.json" Actually the link is broken. Hence stuck at

fault --tvSet RTL/ISCAS_89/s27.v.tv.json Netlists/s27.netlist.v.cut.v

It would be great if I can get help on this. Regards,

The wiki needs an update sorry about that. For now until I work on it , you can get this file from here https://github.com/Cloud-V/Fault/blob/432adf445acef670fed994950fcf92c8cf8cfefa/RTL/ISCAS_89/s27.v.tv.json

Hi @User I am converting my question into two parts: 1 -I tried to use the specified file in your last message but the following message is showing up on the terminal.

enerating LALR tables

WARNING: 183 shift/reduce conflicts

Processing module s27\u2026

File 'RTL/ISCAS_89/s27.v.tv.json' is invalid.

I have cloned the latest repository and followed the steps given in wiki's 'Usage' part. https://github.com/Cloud-V/Fault/wiki/Usage 2- The given command for JTAG port insertion also producing the following error.

I came across this tool while I was searching for opensource tool for DFT. Does Fault support libraries other then Osu35 e.g. Sky130A etc.?

Applying DFT to the

user_proj_example

in Caravel is giving a lot of routing congestion even after increasing the die area and target density. Any idea how to get rid of those routing congestions?
