Hello, I would like to do some custom layout for study and practice. Would it possible to make it using KLayaout installed in my Windows? Also would installing the Package for sky130 suffice my need to start doing custom layout? Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone!

I have a bit of a confusion. I have cloned the repository at https://github.com/efabless/caravel-gf180mcu for the upcoming shuttle. The PDK variant that the makefile uses is gf180mcuD, but I've been using the tag gf180mcuC. Can someone clarify which of these tags am I supposed to use?

Welcome!

Hey all! Just a few questions: can the open source tools/work flows be used with proprietary PDKs as well? How mature is the ecosystem for new startups to use open source EDA tools not only for taping out prototypes but for production as well?

Hello everyone, it says that there are 38 I/O in Caravel, but I cannot understand this. For example, I want to use io_in[0], but since I do not drive io_out[0], yosys gives an error. How would I use ports for input and output. Thanks in advance.

In chip design, a hierarchical timing constraints flow is a structured approach to managing timing constraints in complex designs that consist of multiple sub-blocks or modules. Don't miss the upcoming timing constraints workshop this weekend - contact to book - https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=919817182494&text=Hi+vlsideepdive%2C+I+have+a+query&type=phone_number&app_absent=0 Here's a general overview of how this flow works: ★Partitioning the Design: The design is divided into smaller, more manageable blocks or modules. This makes it easier to focus on specific sections of the design at a time. ★Defining Block-Level Constraints: For each block or module, timing constraints are defined. These constraints include things like clock definitions, input and output delays, and false path specifications. The idea is to ensure that each block meets its timing requirements independently. ★Bottom-Up Constraint Refinement: After defining the constraints at the block level, they are refined as the blocks are integrated into the higher-level design. This step often involves iterative analysis and adjustments to ensure that the constraints of individual blocks don't conflict with each other and that the overall design's timing requirements are met. ★Top-Level Integration: Once the blocks are integrated, the entire design is analyzed at the top level. This analysis includes checking for timing violations across the different blocks and ensuring that the integrated design meets the global timing requirements. ★Propagation of Constraints: Constraints and timing information from the top level can be propagated down to the lower levels to refine the block-level constraints further. This feedback loop helps in optimizing the timing across the entire hierarchy. ★Verification and Sign-off: The final step involves a thorough verification of the design against all the timing constraints. Tools like static timing analysis (STA) are used to ensure that the design meets all the required timing specifications before it is signed off for fabrication. ★Iterative Refinement: Throughout the process, there may be several iterations of analysis, adjustment, and refinement of timing constraints to address any timing issues that arise as the design evolves. This hierarchical approach helps manage the complexity of large-scale chip designs, allowing for more efficient and accurate timing analysis and optimization.
