********************************************* <!channel> Hello everyone, I wanted to make you aware that we have completed the design update for Caravel. The repo for the new Caravel design has been renamed to https://github.com/efabless/caravel. The redesign Caravel has been used for MPW-2 and MPW-3 projects which are completed reintegration and tapeout, and delivered to the foundry. The legacy Caravel repo used for MPW-ONE can be found at https://github.com/efabless/caravel_mpw-one. The new design incorporates a drop-in module for the management area which is implemented in a separate repo. The current version used for MPW-2 and MPW-3 is located here… https://github.com/efabless/caravel_mgmt_soc_litex. NOTE: We are still in the process of updating documentation to reflect the design changes. Please stay tuned for further updates. *********************************************

Hi @User, @User, @User Are you guys creating a tag for MPW4 for caravel-lite, if yes by when? Since, the deadline for MPW4 tapeout is Dec 31. Caravel has an MPW4 tag available now, should we be waiting for an MPW4 tag for caravel-lite?

I'm using the same tags as MPW3 until told otherwise

Ah that sounds good.

I already have an application made passing tapeout

Ok but I am afraid that they are making changes in precheck repo and caravel, the updated precheck may result into failure… I can comment on this further once I have results of my precheck and tapeout job, on hardening the design on MPW-3 tag.

@User @User the current commits should be working

The ones for MPW3?

Caravel has been updated just recently. That would only affect tapeout.

@User Did you run the precheck in the last 2 days? I am facing manifest fails since @User did the latest update 2 days ago. Before that the checks were passing so I am not sure what went wrong here. Can you tell me tags you used for:

caravel_user_project

caravel-lite

Not in the last few days

@User there is an issue with the manifest we are working to track down.

Please make a big post in the main shuttle channel with the tags we need for tools, caravel, pdk and precheck

I second @User And I hope it is resolved as early as possible, I don't want to rush in the last days.
