can someone help, When I am trying the following it is giving an error, prep -design designName -tag tagName error says: tagName already exist use -overwrite but I don't want to overwrite, let's say last i worked till synthesis step, the other day i want to do the floorplan but with the same tagName in that case what should I be doing?

You can either use interactive mode and run the steps manually or try OpenLane 2: https://openlane2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/migrants/index.html

I was running interactive mode only. Without migrating to OpenLane 2. What might be the issue that I am facing???

So this was removed in https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/pull/1840 -- the interactive mode use-case slipped through the cracks on our part. We apologize. Long story short, the way this worked prevented new changes to the design configuration from propagating which confused new users. This was unworkable and the primary reason we started rewriting OpenLane. There are two solutions here: • Use the latest version without this change:

2023.06.14

• In your clone of OpenLane, type

git revert 5ca48214640dcb9f88945a3861be47716ebe187d

which will revert only this change. We once again apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you so much for all of those detailed answers.

Did you clone using —depth 1?

yes

Run

git fetch --unshallow

ok

Heads up, it will take a while

ok

No, it's not possible. These aren't a username and a password however, you just need to set a name and an email

ok, Thank you.

git config --global user.name "Md Zakir Hussain"

git config --global user.email "<your email>"

Ok. Thank you.

is that done?

then

git revert

got this

Ctrl+X

is that done?

Yes

Thank you so much.

i did revert to avoid -tag TagName already

make mount

overwrites the

/openlane

directory with the one currently in your filesystem. Meaning you will have the tools of

9dbd8b5

and the scripts from after

git revert

.

ok, Thank you.
