 Overview
 ========

 This repo contains a sample user project that utilizes the
 `caravel <https://github.com/efabless/caravel.git>`__ chip user space.
 The user project is a simple counter that showcases how to make use of
 `caravel's <https://github.com/efabless/caravel.git>`__ user space
 utilities like IO pads, logic analyzer probes, and wishbone port. The
 repo also demonstrates the recommended structure for the open-mpw
 shuttle projects.

 Prerequisites
 =============

 - Docker

 Install Caravel
 ===============

 To setup caravel, run the following:

 .. code:: bash

     # If unset, CARAVEL_ROOT will be set to $(pwd)/caravel
     # If you want to install caravel at a different location, run "export CARAVEL_ROOT=<caravel-path>"
     export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel

     # Disable submodule installation if needed by, run "export SUBMODULE=0"

     git clone https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project.git
     cd caravel_user_project
     make install

 To update the installed caravel to the latest, run:

 .. code:: bash

      make update_caravel

 To remove caravel, run

 .. code:: bash

     make uninstall

 By default
 `caravel-lite <https://github.com/efabless/caravel-lite.git>`__ is
 installed. To install the full version of caravel, run this prior to
 calling make install.

 .. code:: bash

     export CARAVEL_LITE=0

 Caravel Integration
 ===================

 Repo Integration
 ----------------

 Caravel files are kept separate from the user project by having caravel
 as submodule. The submodule commit should point to the latest of
 caravel/caravel-lite master/main branch. The following files should have a symbolic
 link to `caravel's <https://github.com/efabless/caravel.git>`__
 corresponding files:

 -  `Openlane Makefile <../../openlane/Makefile>`__: This provides an easier
    way for running openlane to harden your macros. Refer to `Hardening
    the User Project Macro using
    Openlane <#hardening-the-user-project-macro-using-openlane>`__. Also,
    the makefile retains the openlane summary reports under the signoff
    directory.

 -  `Pin order <../../openlane/user_project_wrapper/pin_order.cfg>`__ file for
    the user wrapper: The hardened user project wrapper macro must have
    the same pin order specified in caravel's repo. Failing to adhere to
    the same order will fail the gds integration of the macro with
    caravel's back-end.

 The symbolic links are automatically set when you run ``make install``.

 Verilog Integration
 -------------------

 You need to create a wrapper around your macro that adheres to the
 template at
 `user\_project\_wrapper <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/verilog/rtl/__user_project_wrapper.v>`__.
 The wrapper top module must be named ``user_project_wrapper`` and must
 have the same input and output ports as the golden wrapper `template <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/verilog/rtl/__user_project_wrapper.v>`__. The wrapper gives access to the
 user space utilities provided by caravel like IO ports, logic analyzer
 probes, and wishbone bus connection to the management SoC.

 For this sample project, the user macro makes use of:

 -  The IO ports for displaying the count register values on the IO pads.

 -  The LA probes for supplying an optional reset and clock signals and
    for setting an initial value for the count register.

 -  The wishbone port for reading/writing the count value through the
    management SoC.

 Refer to `user\_project\_wrapper <../../verilog/rtl/user_project_wrapper.v>`__
 for more information.

    </p>

 .. raw:: html

    </p>


 Layout Integration
 -------------------

 The caravel layout is pre-designed with an empty golden wrapper in the user space. You only need to provide us with a valid ``user_project_wrapper`` GDS file. And, as part of the tapeout process, your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` will be inserted into a vanilla caravel layout to get the final layout shipped for fabrication.

 .. raw:: html

    <p align="center">
    <img src="./_static/layout.png" width="80%" height="80%">
    </p>

 To make sure that this integration process goes smoothly without having any DRC or LVS issues, your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` must adhere to a number of requirements listed at `User Project Wrapper Requirements <#user-project-wrapper-requirements>`__ .


 Building the PDK
 ================

 You have two options for building the pdk:

 - Build the pdk natively.

 Make sure you have `Magic VLSI Layout Tool <http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/index.html>`__ installed on your machine before building the pdk.
 The pdk build is tested with magic version ``8.3.209``.

 .. code:: bash

     # set PDK_ROOT to the path you wish to use for the pdk
     export PDK_ROOT=<pdk-installation-path>

     # you can optionally specify skywater-pdk and open-pdks commit used
     # by setting and exporting SKYWATER_COMMIT and OPEN_PDKS_COMMIT
     # if you do not set them, they default to the last verfied commits tested for this project

     make pdk

 - Build the pdk using openlane's docker image which has magic installed.

 .. code:: bash

     # set PDK_ROOT to the path you wish to use for the pdk
     export PDK_ROOT=<pdk-installation-path>

     # you can optionally specify skywater-pdk and open-pdks commit used
     # by setting and exporting SKYWATER_COMMIT and OPEN_PDKS_COMMIT
     # if you do not set them, they default to the last verfied commits tested for this project

     make pdk-nonnative

 Running Full Chip Simulation
 ============================

 First, you will need to install the simulation environment, by

 .. code:: bash

     make simenv

 This will pull a docker image with the needed tools installed.

 Then, run the RTL simulation by

 .. code:: bash

     export PDK_ROOT=<pdk-installation-path>
     export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
     # specify simulation mode: RTL/GL
     export SIM=RTL
     # Run RTL simulation on IO ports testbench, make verify-io_ports
     make verify-<testbench-name>

 Once you have the physical implementation done and you have the gate-level netlists ready, it is crucial to run full gate-level simulations to make sure that your design works as intended after running the physical implementation.

 Run the gate-level simulation by:

 .. code:: bash

     export PDK_ROOT=<pdk-installation-path>
     export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
     # specify simulation mode: RTL/GL
     export SIM=GL
     # Run RTL simulation on IO ports testbench, make verify-io_ports
     make verify-<testbench-name>


 This sample project comes with four example testbenches to test the IO port connection, wishbone interface, and logic analyzer. The test-benches are under the
 `verilog/dv <https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/tree/main/verilog/dv>`__ directory. For more information on setting up the
 simulation environment and the available testbenches for this sample
 project, refer to `README <https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/blob/main/verilog/dv/README.md>`__.


 User Project Wrapper Requirements
 =================================

 Your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` must match the `golden user_project_wrapper <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/gds/user_project_wrapper_empty.gds.gz>`__ in the following:

 - Area ``(2.920um x 3.520um)``
 - Top module name ``"user_project_wrapper"``
 - Pin Placement
 - Pin Sizes
 - Core Rings Width and Offset
 - PDN Vertical and Horizontal Straps Width


 .. raw:: html

    <p align="center">
    <img src="./_static/empty.png" width="40%" height="40%">
    </p>


 These fixed configurations are specified `here <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/openlane/user_project_wrapper_empty/fixed_wrapper_cfgs.tcl>`__ .

 However, you are allowed to change the following if you need to:

 - PDN Vertical and Horizontal Pitch & Offset

 .. raw:: html

    <p align="center">
    <img src="./_static/pitch.png" width="30%" height="30%">
    </p>

 To make sure that you adhere to these requirements, we run an exclusive-or (XOR) check between your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` GDS and the golden wrapper GDS after processing both layouts to include only the boundary (pins and core rings). This check is done as part of the `mpw-precheck <https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck>`__ tool.


 Hardening the User Project using OpenLane
 ==========================================

 OpenLane Installation
 ---------------------

 You will need to install openlane by running the following

 .. code:: bash

    export OPENLANE_ROOT=<openlane-installation-path>

    # you can optionally specify the openlane tag to use
    # by running: export OPENLANE_TAG=<openlane-tag>
    # if you do not set the tag, it defaults to the last verfied tag tested for this project

    make openlane

 For detailed instructions on the openlane and the pdk installation refer
 to
 `README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane#setting-up-openlane>`__.

 Hardening Options
 -----------------

 There are three options for hardening the user project macro using
 openlane:

 +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 |           Option 1                                           |            Option 2                        |           Option 3                         |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
 | Hardening the user macro(s) first, then inserting it in the  |  Flattening the user macro(s) with the     | Placing multiple macros in the wrapper     |
 | user project wrapper with no standard cells on the top level |  user_project_wrapper                      | along with standard cells on the top level |
 +==============================================================+============================================+============================================+
 | |pic1|                                                       | |pic2|                                     | |pic3|                                     |
 |                                                              |                                            |                                            |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+

 For more details on hardening macros using openlane, refer to `README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/docs/source/hardening_macros.md>`__.


 Running OpenLane
 -----------------

 For this sample project, we went for the first option where the user
 macro is hardened first, then it is inserted in the user project
 wrapper without having any standard cells on the top level.

 .. raw:: html

    <p align="center">
    <img src="./_static/wrapper.png" width="30%" height="30%">
    </p>

 .. raw:: html

    </p>

 To reproduce hardening this project, run the following:

 .. code:: bash

    # Run openlane to harden user_proj_example
    make user_proj_example
    # Run openlane to harden user_project_wrapper
    make user_project_wrapper


 For more information on the openlane flow, check `README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane#readme>`__.

 Running MPW Precheck Locally
 =================================

 You can install the `mpw-precheck <https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck>`__ by running

 .. code:: bash

    # By default, this install the precheck in your home directory
    # To change the installtion path, run "export PRECHECK_ROOT=<precheck installation path>"
    make precheck

 This will clone the precheck repo and pull the latest precheck docker image.


 Then, you can run the precheck by running
 Specify CARAVEL_ROOT before running any of the following,

 .. code:: bash

    # export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<path-to-caravel>
    make run-precheck

 This will run all the precheck checks on your project and will produce the logs under the ``checks`` directory.


 Other Miscellaneous Targets
 ============================

 The makefile provides a number of useful that targets that can run LVS, DRC, and XOR checks on your hardened design outside of openlane's flow.

 Run ``make help`` to display available targets.

 Specify CARAVEL_ROOT before running any of the following,

 .. code:: bash

    # export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<path-to-caravel>

 Run lvs on the mag view,

 .. code:: bash

    make lvs-<macro_name>

 Run lvs on the gds,

 .. code:: bash

    make lvs-gds-<macro_name>

 Run lvs on the maglef,

 .. code:: bash

    make lvs-maglef-<macro_name>

 Run drc using magic,

 .. code:: bash

    make drc-<macro_name>

 Run antenna check using magic,

 .. code:: bash

    make antenna-<macro_name>

 Run XOR check,

 .. code:: bash

    make xor-wrapper

	Your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` must match the `golden user_project_wrapper <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/gds/user_project_wrapper_empty.gds.gz>`__ in the following:

	- Area ``(2.920um x 3.520um)``
	- Top module name ``"user_project_wrapper"``
	- Pin Placement
	- Pin Sizes
	- Core Rings Width and Offset
	- PDN Vertical and Horizontal Straps Width


	.. raw:: html

	<p align="center">
	<img src="./_static/empty.png" width="40%" height="40%">
	</p>


	These fixed configurations are specified `here <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/master/openlane/user_project_wrapper_empty/fixed_wrapper_cfgs.tcl>`__ .

	However, you are allowed to change the following if you need to:

	- PDN Vertical and Horizontal Pitch & Offset

	.. raw:: html

	<p align="center">
	<img src="./_static/pitch.png" width="30%" height="30%">
	</p>

	To make sure that you adhere to these requirements, we run an exclusive-or (XOR) check between your hardened ``user_project_wrapper`` GDS and the golden wrapper GDS after processing both layouts to include only the boundary (pins and core rings). This check is done as part of the `mpw-precheck <https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck>`__ tool.


	Hardening the User Project using OpenLane
	==========================================

	OpenLane Installation
	---------------------

	You will need to install openlane by running the following

	.. code:: bash

	export OPENLANE_ROOT=<openlane-installation-path>

	# you can optionally specify the openlane tag to use
	# by running: export OPENLANE_TAG=<openlane-tag>
	# if you do not set the tag, it defaults to the last verfied tag tested for this project

	make openlane

	For detailed instructions on the openlane and the pdk installation refer
	to
	`README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane#setting-up-openlane>`__.

	Hardening Options
	-----------------

	There are three options for hardening the user project macro using
	openlane:

	+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
	\| Option 1 \| Option 2 \| Option 3 \|
	+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
	\| Hardening the user macro(s) first, then inserting it in the \| Flattening the user macro(s) with the \| Placing multiple macros in the wrapper \|
	\| user project wrapper with no standard cells on the top level \| user_project_wrapper \| along with standard cells on the top level \|
	+==============================================================+============================================+============================================+
	\| \|pic1\| \| \|pic2\| \| \|pic3\| \|
	\| \| \| \|
	+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
	\| ex: \|link1\| \| \| ex: \|link2\| \|
	+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+

	.. \|link1\| replace:: `caravel_user_project <https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project>`__

	.. \|link2\| replace:: `caravel_ibex <https://github.com/efabless/caravel_ibex>`__


	.. \|pic1\| image:: ./_static/option1.png
	:width: 48%

	.. \|pic2\| image:: ./_static/option2.png
	:width: 140%

	.. \|pic3\| image:: ./_static/option3.png
	:width: 72%

	For more details on hardening macros using openlane, refer to `README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/docs/source/hardening_macros.md>`__.


	Running OpenLane
	-----------------

	For this sample project, we went for the first option where the user
	macro is hardened first, then it is inserted in the user project
	wrapper without having any standard cells on the top level.

	.. raw:: html

	<p align="center">
	<img src="./_static/wrapper.png" width="30%" height="30%">
	</p>

	.. raw:: html

	</p>

	To reproduce hardening this project, run the following:

	.. code:: bash

	# Run openlane to harden user_proj_example
	make user_proj_example
	# Run openlane to harden user_project_wrapper
	make user_project_wrapper


	For more information on the openlane flow, check `README <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane#readme>`__.

	Running MPW Precheck Locally
	=================================

	You can install the `mpw-precheck <https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck>`__ by running

	.. code:: bash

	# By default, this install the precheck in your home directory
	# To change the installtion path, run "export PRECHECK_ROOT=<precheck installation path>"
	make precheck

	This will clone the precheck repo and pull the latest precheck docker image.


	Then, you can run the precheck by running
	Specify CARAVEL_ROOT before running any of the following,

	.. code:: bash

	# export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
	export CARAVEL_ROOT=<path-to-caravel>
	make run-precheck

	This will run all the precheck checks on your project and will produce the logs under the ``checks`` directory.


	Other Miscellaneous Targets
	============================

	The makefile provides a number of useful that targets that can run LVS, DRC, and XOR checks on your hardened design outside of openlane's flow.

	Run ``make help`` to display available targets.

	Specify CARAVEL_ROOT before running any of the following,

	.. code:: bash

	# export CARAVEL_ROOT=$(pwd)/caravel
	export CARAVEL_ROOT=<path-to-caravel>

	Run lvs on the mag view,

	.. code:: bash

	make lvs-<macro_name>

	Run lvs on the gds,

	.. code:: bash

	make lvs-gds-<macro_name>

	Run lvs on the maglef,

	.. code:: bash

	make lvs-maglef-<macro_name>

	Run drc using magic,

	.. code:: bash

	make drc-<macro_name>

	Run antenna check using magic,

	.. code:: bash

	make antenna-<macro_name>

	Run XOR check,

	.. code:: bash

	make xor-wrapper
