12/21/2021, 11:07 AMhi, now I'm getting this error in my project in open lane "[ERROR]: There are hold violations in the design at the typical corner", this error point me to a file with the timings. What I need to change to fix the hold violation error?, increment target density, bigger chip, etc ..

12/21/2021, 11:39 AMok, I will try with the new openlane tag and see. Also I move some of the GPIO to be closer together, becuase the timing viloation was in the outer most GPIO pins
with the latest's version of open lane that you suggested I get an assertion error in yosys
ERROR: Assert `p != NULL' failed in kernel/yosys.cc:453.

12/21/2021, 1:47 PMyes, I re-download that tag but the error is same. I don't know why
doing the make test in openlane I get the same error. So I don't know what to do now.

which openlane tag resolved your hold violation issue?
i
Ivan Rodriguez
12/23/2021, 5:46 PMstill working on that, now I'm having issues to finish the routing in less than 64 steps. For now I want to try again with the new output configuration ( Not using the outer most IO ports) and if still happens I will start testing different tags to solve the issue. I will keep you posted.
Hi @User, I'm testing the setting that you mention. For now I just have a finish openlane with slew violations and hold violation. The slew were low (0.1). But for the Hold violation, I have and error popping but in the report was only one that have 0.00 as a result and that was mark as a violation. Now I'm trying again with the margings a little bit up hopping to have it now without errors.
