Hello all, How can I update openroad? #openroad #openlane

Are you using docker?

@Mitch Bailey yes

This is what I do to update programs in openlane. 1. Create a new openlane tag

export OPENLANE_IMAGE_NAME=efabless/openlane:newtag

where

newtag

is whatever your new docker image will be called. You'll need to set this before running any future programs in docker too. 2. Update the commit of the program you're changing in

dependencies/tool_metadata.yml

3.

cd docker

4.

make build-openroad

(or whatever program your updating) 5.

make merge

That's it.

@Mitch Bailey When I run "make build-openroad_app" I got this error

looks like it can't find

<http://sourceforge.net|sourceforge.net>

. Unfortunately, I don't have any immediate solutions for that. Maybe do a clean reinstall?

I tried to use the version that already installed "put it in dependencies/tool_metadata.yml" and it stuck in detail routing. I raised an issue if you have time to look at it: https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/issues/1245
