@Amro Tork: From what I can see, the Rocket core is not a particularly good choice for these older process nodes and open source tools -- it seems to use way too many resources.

We have taped out Rocket in Sky130, but by using commercial tools. It will take a bit of an effort to get it to fit with open-source tools

@Borivoje Nikolic Did you support the atomic instruction to make it linux capable?

Thanks. It would be a good test to see how Open would work as well.
