my_sram_test_chip1 (a Caravel User Project)

This is an OpenLane-1.x-based example of using an Efabless Marketplace IP packge, installed using ipm.

Specifically, it demonstrates use of the commercial EFSRAM_01024x032_008_18 high-density SRAM IP.

This repo was made from https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project originally and then adapted with guidance from the similar project: https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_sram

To build the GDS in this repo:

1. Install IPM:

   cd ~
   git clone https://github.com/efabless/IPM.git
   pip install ./IPM
   # Test:
   ipm ls-remote

2. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/amm-efabless/my_sram_test_chip1

3. Setup your enviroment (installs OpenLane, PDK, etc):

   cd my_sram_test_chip1
   make setup

4. Install the EFSRAM IP:

   ipm install-dep
   

   NOTE: At the time of writing, this might require special access to private repos for some IPs (including EFSRAM). This is expected to change as some IPs become officially published. For more info, see: https://github.com/efabless/IPM
5. Harden the example wishbone_sram macro (which includes the SRAM hard IP):

   make wishbone_sram
   

   NOTE: At the time of writing, expect some minor linter errors about shorted ports, and 1 DRC violation.
6. Harden the user_project_wrapper

   make user_project_wrapper
