10/15/2021, 1:07 PMHello to all, I have a question about netlist generation for GL simulation using testbench available in caravel_user_project. Do I have to use any special flow settings ? Which netlist shall I use, because in results/synthesis there are a few ones generated at different levels of the flow? Should be the netlist powered ?

10/15/2021, 4:36 PMHi @Matt Venn, in fact I am outside the caravel_user_project running a custom design using OpenLane. during the flow I get something like this: merged_unpadded.lef xxx.synthesis_cts.v xxx.synthesis_optimized.v xxx.synthesis_preroute.v xxx.synthesis.v

Krzysztof Herman
10/15/2021, 4:37 PMoptimized, cts and preroute comes with power pins

10/15/2021, 4:46 PMI wll estup the simulation and feedback You whether it works or not.

10/15/2021, 4:55 PMCheck the /verilog/dv/ examples for the right iverilog arguments

Krzysztof Herman
10/15/2021, 4:56 PMI use the same makefile
Krzysztof Herman
10/15/2021, 4:58 PM... waiting for the final netlist because I have to synthesize whole project without macros > 60000 cells

10/15/2021, 7:46 PMhowever looking for the signals in GTKWave is way much hard
Krzysztof Herman
10/15/2021, 7:46 PMonce you treat it as a black box all is ok

10/15/2021, 7:48 PMOnce more thank's for Your help!
