Question

What is the correct usage of the variable CURRENT STEP in the openlane Makefile It seems like this allows you to re run starting from a step but it always deletes the run directory for me

htamas · Answer

The `OPENLANE BASIC COMMAND` in `openlane Makefile` uses the ` overwrite` flag that causes the run directory to be deleted before the next run If you start the docker container manually you can call call `flow tcl` step by step e g using ` from` or ` to` or continuing after an interruption You can also place an `interactive tcl` script in your project s openlane directory

Thanks Hm I don t want to run manually so maybe I will just hack that flag out

Seems like they should disable overwrite if you pass CURRENT STEP
