To pickup the updates without restarting, go to your local project root director and run the following commands:

curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/main/Makefile> > Makefile
curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/main/openlane/Makefile> > openlane/Makefile

It’s important to note that these instructions work for the digital version but might cause havoc on the analog version. In the analog version,

openlane/Makefile

is linked to

../caravel/openlane/Makefile

and redirecting stdout as in

> openlane/Makefile

will overwrite the file that the link points to. Suggested work around for analog projects is to

rm openlane/Makefile

before executing the

curl

commands

curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/main/Makefile> > Makefile
curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/main/openlane/Makefile> > openlane/Makefile

If you’ve already overwritten the

caravel/openlane/Makefile

, you can run

make install

to restore. The analog

caravel_user_project_analog/Makefile

is also different than the digital

caravel_user_project/Makefile

, but I think it’s just an older version and it may be ok to overwrite it. If you are using any of the targets in the

caravel_user_project_analog/Makefile

and need the old functionality, you should be able to restore the old version from git.
