@User Looks like it can't find

/home/yuki/workspace/make-lsi/jacaranda-8/caravel_jacaranda-8/precheck_results/26_OCT_2021___01_12_07/outputs/reports/klayout_beol_check.xml

. Is that file on your system?

@User Yes, I don't have that file. And I understand that

klayout_beol_check.xml

is generated in the precheck program, is that correct?

That would be my guess. Can you find any other klayout logs?

@User Yes, there is

klayout_feol_check.xml

.

I'm assuming

feol

is front-end and

beol

is back-end. Can you see anything in your screen output that would indicate that the

klayout_beol

ended abnormally (besides the missing file).

@User No files with names starting with klayout were found except

klayout_feol_check.xml

.

Does this directory exist?

/home/yuki/workspace/make-lsi/jacaranda-8/caravel_jacaranda-8/precheck_results/26_OCT_2021___01_12_07/outputs/reports

If it doesn't, is there a directory with nearly the same name?

@User Yes it does.

@User I'm running it now. Step 10 seems to be running for a while. Do you have a

precheck_results/<datetime>/logs/klayout_beol_check.log

file? Does it look like it finished successfully?

@User Yes I do, and I think it is ended abnormally.

Any clue as to why? Maybe out of memory?

@User I tried cloning the project from git again and it seemed to fail due to lack of memory. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think it probably is. Thank you very much for debugging this with me.

@User I ran the precheck on your repo and it ran to completion. Here's the results.

{{FAILURE}} 2 Check(s) Failed: ['Manifest', 'Consistency'] !!!

Looking into the failures, we have

Caravel version mismatched, found 48 mismatches, for the full report check: <dir>/caravel_jacaranda-8/precheck_results/<datetime>/logs/manifest_check.log
{{MANIFEST CHECKS FAILED}} Manifest checks failed. Caravel version does not match. Please rebase your Repository to the latest Caravel master.

and

{{CONSISTENCY CHECK FAILED}} caravel.v file was not found.
{{CONSISTENCY CHECK FAILED}} The user netlist and the top netlist are not valid.

@User I increased the swap and ran it, and it worked. I think that error is due to the fact that you did not install anything under

caravel/

. To install it, run

make install

. And I suspect that the EXCEPTION when running precheck on efabless is also due to lack of memory. In my environment, I have 16GB of memory, but this did not seem to be enough! Anyway, thank you very much for all.

Glad things worked out.
