<@U016HSALFAN> Huh ... by calling `place_io` rather than `place_io_ol -cfg $::env(FP_PIN_ORDER_CFG)` in the `interactive.tcl` of `user_project_wrapper`, I think the whole fixed pin order is completely ignored ....

<@U016HU5HK8V>: yeah, `place_io`  and `place_io_ol -cfg $config`  are two different commands. `place_io`  won't follow the configuration file, but `place_io_ol`  will. Or is the issue is that `place_io_ol` ignores the file?

Yeah I know they are different that's my point. The current script calls `place_io` and so ignores the fixed IO requirement.

<@U016HU5HK8V>: I see. Ghazy fixed that in his fork a couple of days ago <https://github.com/ax3ghazy/caravel-1/blob/new_dimensions/openlane/user_project_wrapper/interactive.tcl> I'd expect it to be merged back to upstream soon.

<@U016HU5HK8V>: I pushed that to develop yesterday; should be fine now.

What is Linen?
