Overview

This is chip is add-on to our Riscduino SCORE/DCORE/QCORE Chip set. As there are no free space in the previous chip and this chip will be host additional function like mac core, stepper motor and new feature as needed. This project uses only open source tool set for simulation,synthesis and backend tools. The SOC flow follow the openlane methodology and SOC environment is compatible with efabless/carvel methodology.

Run make help to display available targets.

Run lvs on the mag view,

make lvs-<macro_name>

Run lvs on the gds,

make lvs-gds-<macro_name>

Run lvs on the maglef,

make lvs-maglef-<macro_name>

Run drc using magic,

make drc-<macro_name>
