I still don't understand how

user_project_wrapper

powers

user_proj_example

. The

connect

entry for macro is empty in

pdn.tcl

. @User?

I don't think it's working ATM. There was a limitation / bug in OpenDB that caused only the first two straps to be exported as power pads when building

user_project_wrapper

. There is some experimental branch trying to fix that ...

Ok. So what do we do for the shuttle ?

@tnt, since you're pretty far off, did you manage to finish everything and close the application or are you waiting for anything?

Nope haven't gone through that yet. I need to clean up my simulation a bit, then generate the final files. I have a couple of DRC and Antenna violations that I manually fix, so I need to re-do that at every run, I'll do the final version this afternoon. But I still have the same issue than @tgingold has with properly powering this whole thing.

Aha, ok. So I guess you are too dependent on user_project_wrapper power network which is currently being updated?

Given the remaining issues with the flow/precheck/DRC etc, are we just meant to leave our project submissions in the "open" state? Today's the last day to confirm a submission but AFAIK we can't actually do that as described

Yeah, I mean I can get something working by manually tweaking my project LEF file and exporting the other stripes as power pads, but that's a bit messy.

At the end, I used the 180 pitch grid for my macro. With the hope the harness pitch won't change...

I have some large macros creating obstructions and so I carefully selected the pitch to go right between them and maximize the power distribution.
