Test Site

  • Litex platform for efabless Caravel

    • Core(1 or 2)

    • AsyncRAM GPIO Interface

    • Misc: UARTs, I2C, toysram, ...

  • To Do

    • pre-place i/o's before synth

    • synth experiments (LSOracle and/or opt refinement)

    • get packed DFFRAMs incorporated

    • modify code to do a 3R1W reg

    • modify code to do non-power-of-2 words

    • should 1Kx32 be built from smaller blocks?

create dir and add sources

steps

  1. initial synth/timing
  • initialize floorplan (initialize_floorplan)
  • gate_resizer (multiple commands)
    • can set estimated wire rc per layer
    • can add buffers on I/O
    • repairs fanouts/caps/etc.
    • STA can run before and/or after this
  • OpenSTA (sta)
  1. full PD
  • macro place (macro_placement)
  • tapcell/endcap (tapcell)
  • global placement (global_placement)
  • detailed placement (legalize_placement)
  • CTS (clock_tree_synthesis)
  • global routing (fast_route)
  • detailed routing (detailed_route)

replace inferred mems with DFFRAM components

(readme-dffram.md)

  1. test with gpr using DFFRAMs and ic/dc dir/dat using small inferred mems (1 location)
  • completed flow
  1. add ic/dc dir/dat (4K)
  • completes flow

Yosys

  • stuff from A2O experiments; synth probably still worth experimenting with

#mfs  An area-oriented resynthesis engine for network mapped into K-LUTs described in the paper.
# puts $script "mfs"
#strash  Transforms the current network into an AIG by one-level structural hashing. The resulting AIG is a logic network composed of two-input AND gates
# and inverters represented as complemented attributes on the edges. Structural hashing is a purely combinational transformation, which does not modify
# the number and positions of latches.
#1. puts $script "strash"
#refactor  Performs iterative collapsing and refactoring of logic cones in the AIG, which attempts to reduce the number of AIG nodes and the number of logic levels.
#2. puts $script "refactor"
# map  Performs standard cell mapping of the current network using the current library. If the current network is an AIG or an AIG with choices, it is
# used for mapping as it is. If the current network is a logic network, before mapping this command performs structural hashing of the factored forms of
# the nodes (resulting in an AIG) followed by balancing (resulting in an AIG that is well-balanced for delay). Both balancing and mapping take into account
# the arrival times of primary inputs which can be represented in BLIF. Switch a disables area recovery and outputs the network as it is after delay
# optimal mapping. Another useful command, fraig_sweep, is applied after mapping by default (use switch s to disable) to merge functionally equivalent
# nodes leading to additional savings in area.
