Hi! At the moment, I'm just trying to install https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project_analog and hitting the following snag:

~/EDA/caravel_user_project_analog$ env | grep ROOT
PDK_ROOT=/home/cmaier/EDA/OpenLane/pdks
OPENLANE_ROOT=/home/cmaier/EDA/OpenLane
CARAVEL_ROOT=/project/caravel

~/EDA/caravel_user_project_analog$ make install
realpath: /project/caravel: No such file or directory
Installing caravel-lite as a submodule..

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'caravel' in .gitmodules

What's wrong here? How can this be fixed??

@Christoph Maier The problem is that

CARAVEL_ROOT

path is outside the caravel_user_project_analog directory and it is trying to submodule it. You need to set caravel root to ~/EDA/caravel_user_project_analog/caravel

... which makes me wonder why this kind of setting worked in

caravel_user_project

.

@Christoph Maier what do you mean by self test ?

caravel_user_project

has

make user_proj_example

and

make user_project_wrapper

to verify that the tool chain works. I wonder if something similar exists for

user_proj_example_analog

.
