make all

  • You could also check allowed targets in the Makefile, using the following command:

    make help

Regression Outputs

  • The resulting files are in one directory with name of run_<date>_<time>_<rule_deck> that contains:

    1. A database of all violations.
    2. A CSV report file of total violations and its type (false positive or false negative), and its testing status.
    3. A final CSV report file which indicates the final status of each rule.

  • The final report for rules DRC-regression will be generated in the current directory with the name of final_report.csv, also you could find the detailed one with the name of final_detailed_report.csv.

  • The final report for standard cells DRC-regression will be generated in the current directory with the name of sc_drc_report.csv.
