I'm having problems with PDN generation. Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem? My design is at https://github.com/Hagiwara-shc/marmot_asic.git . It contains 14 SRAM macros under user_project_wrapper. When I make user_project_wrapper, it stops with the following error.

[WARNING PSM-0038] Unconnected PDN node on net vccd2 at location (388.800um, 1746.550um), layer: 5.
[WARNING PSM-0038] Unconnected PDN node on net vccd2 at location (205.200um, 1746.550um), layer: 5.

[ERROR]: PDN generation failed.
[ERROR]: You may need to adjust your macro placements or PDN  offsets/pitches to power all standard cell rails (or other PDN stripes)  in your design.

Could you open your DEF in openroad gui? I want to take a look at SRAM placement. Also where the vccd2 is comming from? In your config there is no vccd2, am I missing something?

and can you really read zipped gds? https://github.com/Hagiwara-shc/marmot_asic/blob/bd43e78faeb9626d5b2165b3342e144cf648b3d1/openlane/user_project_wrapper/config.tcl#L97

Here is a screen shot.

ok I have a guess

Sounds possible for me as well. In my project, I had to do set ::env(FP_PDN_HORIZONTAL_HALO) 50 set ::env(FP_PDN_VERTICAL_HALO) 50 to avoid collisions between routed signals and the little space between macros. Maybe that helps here as well. For this design, I would start with larger values (such as 200) for both settings to begin with.

Thank you, all. I removed 4 SRAM macros to have more space and added

set ::env(FP_PDN_HPITCH) 100
set ::env(FP_PDN_VPITCH) 100

then, PDN generation was successful. But now, I have following error...

I'm normally leaving at least 150um between macros to allow routing to succeed

Is there any way to know where the routing congestion is?

when it fails you should get left with an xml file in the runs directory

There is no xml file in the runs directory, no gds as well. There are only the following defs and lefs.
