I am running OpenLane without Docker since I'm doing mostly analog design. When I try to run "./flow.tcl -design spm" I get the following error: "[ERROR STA-0402] repair_design -slew_margin is not a known keyword or flag. Error: resizer.tcl, 62 STA-0402 [ERROR]: during executing: "openroad -exit /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/scripts/openroad/resizer.tcl |& tee >&@stdout /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/designs/spm/runs/RUN_2021.12.12_15.55.21/logs/placement/8-resizer.log" [ERROR]: Exit code: 1 [ERROR]: Last 10 lines: child process exited abnormally" I'm running Version: 2021.12.10_01.41.40 All the fixes I found here were for the docker image, does anybody have the fix for the setup without it?

It's saying locally installed openroad tool is not same version as in docker

Yes it is clear that "-slew_margin" is not a valid flag anymore but how do I update the scripts, I did "git checkout master" and "git pull" but it didn't help

@Domagoj Tomić Did you try updating openroad?

@User I cloned it again, just to be sure, build process was again successful but I'am getting this other error: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/scripts/write_powered_def.py", line 182, in <module> odb.dbITerm_connect(VDD_ITERM, DEFAULT_VDD) AttributeError: module 'odb' has no attribute 'dbITerm_connect' [ERROR]: during executing: "openroad -python /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/scripts/write_powered_def.py -d /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/designs/spm/runs/RUN_2021.12.13_09.33.57/results/routing/spm.def -l /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/designs/spm/runs/RUN_2021.12.13_09.33.57/tmp/merged.lef --power-port VPWR --ground-port VGND --powered-netlist {} -o /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/designs/spm/runs/RUN_2021.12.13_09.33.57/tmp/routing/27-spm.powered.def |& tee >&@stdout /mnt/HDD_WD/OpenLane/designs/spm/runs/RUN_2021.12.13_09.33.57/logs/routing/27-write_powered_verilog.log" [ERROR]: Exit code: 1 [ERROR]: Last 10 lines: child process exited abnormally" OpenLane is up to date with the master, so I have no clue how to fix this.

The problem with odb may be related to https://skywater-pdk.slack.com/archives/C01DZSS46HL/p1638989786167100.

@Mitch Bailey I have found that post, but I'm not sure what are the implications, do I have the old version of the odb module or what, I must confess I haven't worked with Python much. I have updated OpenRoad (build from scratch as I said) and OpenLane, and also have built aforementioned tools from source.

I think the version for each of the programs that openlane is expecting is stored in

dependencies/tool_metadata.yml

. Does the version of your natively compiled programs match these?

@Mitch Bailey yes, all the dependencies are met and I have updated OpenROAD and OpenLane yesterday. I have additionally examined the git issue (https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/issues/753), and if I understand it correctly, they have updated the OpenDB API (https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/tree/master/src/odb) which broke the scripts like "write_powered_def.py" which call old type of methods. So that would mean that either I have to wait for the issue to be resolved/closed and then update OpenLane again, or to patch it myself, or go to an earlier tag release of OpenLane and OpenROAD?

Sounds like you're on the right track. Sorry I can't be of more help.
