Prerequisites

  • Docker (ensure docker daemon is running) -- tested with version 19.03.12, but any recent version should suffice.

Step-1: Docker in ubuntu 20.04 version

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https curl rtificates -agent software-properties-common
   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
   sudo apt update
   apt-cache policy docker-ce
   sudo apt install docker-ce

   #Add User Name to docker
   sudo usermod -aG docker <your user name>
   # Reboot the system to enable the docker setup

Step-2: Clone , update the Submodule, unzip the content

   git clone https://github.com/dineshannayya/riscduino.git
   cd riscduino
   git submodule init
   git submodule update
   make unzip

Note-1: RTL to GDS Docker

- Required openlane and pdk are moved inside the riscduino docker to avoid the external dependency. 
- flow automatically pull the required docker based on MPW version.
- RTL to gds docker is hardcoded inside File: openlane/Makefile
     OPENLANE_TAG = mpw6
     OPENLANE_IMAGE_NAME = riscduino/openlane:$(OPENLANE_TAG)

Note-1.1: View the RTL to GDS Docker content

- for MPW-6 caravel pdk and openlane avaible inside riscduino/openlane:mpw6 docker 
- caravel, openlane and pdk envionment are automatically pointed to internal docker pointer
