Hi, I made some updates to our MPW7 submission and when hardening the 'user_project_wrapper' I am getting an error on [STEP 5]. Below is the openlane.log, please let me know what the issue may be or if you need more information. Thank you!

@Soma Hopefully I’m wrong, but it looks like the gds data that you submitted to mpw-7 is the default

user_project_wrapper

.

When I worked with Vijayan Krishnan, he was able to harden and pass precheck and the rest of our design is correct. Maybe the updated wrapper was not pushed but that should be able to get updated soon after this error is resolved.

It looks like it passed precheck, but the actual layout was the default

user_project_wrapper

- not your intended design. Looks like there were 11 other designs with the same problem in mpw-7. Take a look at the gds that you submitted to mpw-7. Does it match your intended design?

@Mitch Bailey thanks for letting us now. I have updated the wrapper but I am not entirely sure that the wrapper config.tcl and macro.cfg are correct. Could you please clarify what exactly needs to go in the fields marked TODO and the macro.cfg?

You probably should change the

CLOCK_NET

to match the clock you’re actually using. I think you’ll also need to change

macro.cfg

to

sha1_top_inst

and its position and orientation.
