#158 Migration guide for macros Issue created by kareefardi It seems that during translation of

EXTRA_GDS_FILES

it doesn't resolve to the correct marco entry in

resolved.json

. It should be added to the migration guide among other changes needed to properly define a macro. efabless/openlane2

#160 Release beta 9 Pull request opened by donn •

Flow.start()

now registers two handlers, one for errors and one for warnings, and forwards them to

step_dir/{errors,warnings}.log

respectively • Created

CELL_SPICE_MODELS

as a PDK variable to handle .spice models of the SCLs instead of globbing in-step • Added a "dummy path" for macro translation purposes that always validates and is ignored by

self.toolbox.get_macro_views

• Reduced reliance on absolute paths • Special exception carved out for

STEP_DIR

,

SCRIPTS_DIR

• Made KLayout scripts more resilient to relative pathing • Created new "eject" feature, which would make reproducibles for steps relying on subprocesses independent of OpenLane •

scripts

directory copied in entirety into ejected reproducibles • Updated Open PDKs to

e3b630d

• Updated Yosys to

14d50a1

• Updated CI to handle missing

vars.CACHIX_CACHE

• Updated Volare to

0.12.3

to use new authentication and user agent • Downgraded Magic to

0afe4d8

to match OL1 • Restored ancient

{DATA,CLOCK}_WIRE_RC_LAYER

variables, with translation behavior from

WIRE_RC_LAYER

to

DATA_WIRE_RC_LAYER

• Fixed issue with

Step.load()

re-validating values, which affected reproducibles • Timing signoff no longer prints if log level is higher than

VERBOSE

• Use

parse_float=Decimal

consistently when loading JSON strings to avoid fun floating point errors • Removed dependency on State module from

odb

scripts • Removed custom PYTHONPATH setting from

#161 Abstract LVS Issue created by kareefardi It was assumed that using def/lef will blackbox standard cells and create a spice view of the layout with blackboxed standard cells and hence run abstract LVS. Upon investigation, it turns out that magic spice extraction depends on

MAGTYPE

whether its

maglef

or

mag

. This issue proposes integrating this to openlane2. efabless/openlane2

#165 Myriad Magic Maladies Pull request opened by donn • Added new

mag

format to design formats, populated by

Magic.StreamOut

• Added support for

stdin

in reproducibles (mainly for Magic): ejected reproducibles now save the input and use it • Added three new PDK variables to all Magic-based steps:

MAGIC_PDK_SETUP

,

CELL_MAGS

, and

CELL_MAGLEFS

, which explicitly list some files Magic constructed from

PDK_ROOT

, as well as codifying a convention that variables must explicitly list files being used. • Added new variable to

Magic.SpiceExtraction

,

MAGIC_EXT_ABSTRACT

, which allows for cell/submodule-level LVS rather than transistor-level LVS. • Changed SPEF file saving to only strip asterisks instead of underscores as well, matching the folders • Fixed an issue where OpenLane's type-checking only accepted a single value for Literals in violation of "Shortening unions of literals," PEP-586 • Fixed an issue where command-line overrides were still treated as strict variables • Fixed an issue where

rule()

would print a line even when log levels would not allow it • Fixed an issue where

PDK_ROOT

was of type

str

• Updated documentation to provide information on conventions for declaring variables • Deprecated

StringEnums

, now favoring

Literal['str1', 'str2', …]

Sorry for the spam, everybody: I didn’t expect this would be so chatty.

@donn: Maybe it makes sense to have two channels like you have for openlane; e.g., openlane-2-development for github messages?

Repository: https://github.com/efabless/openlane2 Google Colaboratory: https://colab.research.google.com/github/efabless/openlane2/blob/main/notebook.ipynb Documentation: https://openlane2.readthedocs.io Caravel User Project with OpenLane 2: https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project_ol2 Issue Tracker: https://github.com/efabless/openlane2/issues

Just in case people are curious - I think this is a really powerful feature of

openlane2

- the python

multiprocessing

module works fine when deploying a classic sequential flow. It means you can generate hundreds of chip variations pretty fast with a large machine which was more complex to do before! I'm also thinking of other distributed computing speedups that the Python environment might enable if you have any tips. I've done a little demo here integrating openlane2 within a larger design flow, and am excited by the results! https://piel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/02a_large_scale_digital_layout/02a_large_scale_digital_layout.html

How can I specify gf180mcuD as pdk in openlane2.0.0?

@Sunao_Furukawa As I posted on GitHub-

--manual-pdk --pdk-root <path to your PDK root>

Hello! 1,--manual-pdk 2,--pdk-root <path to your PDK root> 3, Specify pdk in config.json Mohamed Gaber, your help solved the problem. Thank you very much!

Btw, I've added gf180mcuD to Volare starting the current version. So you no longer need to build the PDK on your own.
