Hi, I have an issue with Openlane. But I don't know if it is worth opening an 'Issue' on the github repo. When I run

make -j8 user_proj_example

, I get this:

Why does it say

[INFO]: Version: N/A

? I recently updated my

caravel_user_project

,

OpenLANE

,

skywater-pdk

and

open-pdks

to the latest required versions. I also don't understand why it says

error copying " /home/booshan/OpenEDA/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hvl/lib/sky130_fd_sc_hvl__tt_025C_3v30.lib /home/booshan/OpenEDA/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hvl/lib/sky130_fd_sc_hvl__tt_025C_3v30_lv1v80.lib ": no such file or directory

. When I check manually, the file is there. For your information, when I run

python3 ./env.py issue-survey

, this is what it gives:

    Last Minute Fixes for MPW3 (#675)

    Update timing signoff methodology (#674)
    
    - Removed the `-min/-max` options from read_liberty since they shouldn't be used for modeling different process corners (<https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/issues/671>).
    - Updated the base SDC file to include information about clock uncertainty, clock transition, and timing derate.
    - Updated the timing/design optimizations to be done at the typical corner.
    - Updated the STA script to generate the SDF file after the routing is concluded.
    - Updated the STA script to report more information like clock skew, worst slack, power, area.
    - Added some fixes to the report generation to retain the log file index so that we can easily keep track of when the reports are generated.

    Docker Overhaul (#673)
    
    This makes a number of internal improvements to the docker build process.
    
    * A common build base
    
    This common build base utilizes the dependency list outlined in `/dependencies` for both yum and pip, with the exception of cu-gr and dr-cu which use an... interesting (read: obtuse) build system. Speaking of...
    
    * A pre-compile dependency list
    
    This allows for the installing of dependencies that may need to be needed to compile *other* dependencies, incl. wheel, pyinstaller, devtoolset, etc.
    
    * Builds now use tarballs
    
    Git is no longer used, saving us the time needed to check out the *entire commit history every single time we build.* To handle submodules, I wrote a special script. Only OpenROAD uses submodules anyhow.
    
    * Rewrote final image
    
    The final image's Dockerfile was a mess. The new one also uses the dependency list and is better organized.
    
    * OpenLane is now mounted to `/openlane` instead of `/openLANE_flow`
    
    We don't really use `openLANE`, branding was settled on `OpenLane`, except I think it's better for everyone's sanity if I avoid capital letters altogether.

Thanks.

have you set right path to export OPENLANE_ROOT= " path to openlane installation"

Yes, I have set them in my

.bashrc

file and when I echo those variables, I get the right path.

@User There appear to be two files that are being treated as one.

/home/booshan/OpenEDA/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hvl/lib/sky130_fd_sc_hvl__tt_025C_3v30.lib /home/booshan/OpenEDA/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hvl/lib/sky130_fd_sc_hvl__tt_025C_3v30_lv1v80.lib

. I don't know if it's a problem on your end or with the

hvl

library setup.

Yes, in the folder

/sky130_fd_sc_hvl/lib

the two named files are there. But how do you say they are being treated as one?

@User What are your

LIB_SYNTH

and

LIB_SYNTH_COMPLETE

set to?

@User Where I do find them? in my

config.tcl

file, I don't find them. I have only set this:

set ::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY) "sky130_fd_sc_hvl"

As far as I know, a

config.tcl

file is generated when the flow starts with all the configuration variables set. But that is not being generated in my case because the run stops immediately after it starts.

Thanks for the info. I'll dig a little deeper.

@User When I run the flow using

sky130_fd_sc_hd

, I get the GDS and flow is complete with zero violations. So, I think it is the issue with the library. Do you suggest I open an issue on the github repo? Because Manar Abdelatty told me to do so earlier. But I did not have an updated version of Openlane. So, I updated and tried it now.

@User I just logged it. You can check to see if it is ok. As you can see from the issue, the problem appears to be in

scripts/tcl_commands/all.tcl

.

# trim resizer library
        if { ! [info exists ::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) ] } {
            set ::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) $::env(TMP_DIR)/resizer.lib
            file copy -force $::env(LIB_SYNTH_COMPLETE) $::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT)       <- Attempt to copy list of files
            if { $::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY_OPT) != $::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY) } {
                set opt_lib $::env(TMP_DIR)/resizer_optlib.lib
                file copy -force $::env(LIB_SYNTH_OPT) $opt_lib
                lappend $::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) $::env(LIB_SYNTH_OPT)
            }
        }

First

LIB_RESIZER_OPT

is set to an empty file name

resizer.lib

. Then an attempt to copy

LIB_SYNTH_COMPLETE

to this empty file is made. However, with the

hvl

library, it looks like

LIB_SYNTH_COMPLETE

is a list (this is what causes your error). Later, it looks like

LIB_RESIZER_OPT

is treated as a list when

LIB_SYNTH_OPT

is appended. You might try this

# trim resizer library
        if { ! [info exists ::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) ] } {
            set ::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) $::env(LIB_SYNTH_COMPLETE)  # change this
            if { $::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY_OPT) != $::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY) } {
                set opt_lib $::env(TMP_DIR)/resizer_optlib.lib
                file copy -force $::env(LIB_SYNTH_OPT) $opt_lib
                lappend $::env(LIB_RESIZER_OPT) $::env(LIB_SYNTH_OPT)
            }
        }

No guarantees.
