Hi All, I’m trying to

make user_project_wrapper

and be stuck at or_pdn step. It just hang the flow then crashed (after 8 hrs?). This issue was reported before and @User suggested to make the macro smaller to get over, but our design cannot be shrunk. Does anyone encounter this issue and/or have an idea how to fix it? Thanks

Placing the following macros:
{'inst_eFPGA_top': ['40000', '40000', 'R0']}
Design name: user_project_wrapper
Placing inst_eFPGA_top
