Hello all, I'm facing a problem while hardening my design, the detailed placement crashes due this problem, can anyone help please? Thanks in advance
v
please raise github issue https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/issues with
openroad_issue_reproducible
generated in run directory
can you share your repo link?
v
file an issue. I will check and let you know. I am not able to find
openlane/aes_top
from your repo
seems your repo not up-to-date @MohamedAliYounis
m
Yes I'm updating it

That is not a crash but an error. Which antenna strategy are you using in OL? Some of them put in crazy amounts of diodes
❤️ 1

Thanks ❤️ the problem already was in diode insertion strategy.. I changed it and it worked ❤️
h
@MohamedAliYounis Which value were you using? What value solves the problem?
m
@Hanssel Enrique Morales Norato I used 0, you can try 3 too
v
0 mean no didoe insertion. try strategy 4
m
The problem is in strategy 4
v
what is the problem
h
@Vijayan Krishnan from Matt comment I would say the problem is that strategy 4 inserts big amount of diodes. @MohamedAliYounis have you tried keeping strategy 4 but with grater area?
m
@Hanssel Enrique Morales Norato yup it didn't work too
h
@MohamedAliYounis having no diodes will probably cause antenna violations on your design. As far as I know, openlane doesn't have any other mechanism to avoid antenna violations other than diode insertion. have you tried another diode insertion strategy?
v
share both of your repo. I'll check and let you know on Monday
