Pursuing three options for upcoming tapeout deadline:
Push SCuMV23 design (Chipyard 1.9.0) through on RHEL7 system w/ debugging help from Daniel Lovell
Elaborate the latest basic design (Chipyard 1.13) through an RHEL9/Rocky 9 system, then move elaborated systemverilog to RHEL7 system and continue with either:
Hammer, or
Manually working through Genus and Innovus
Install PDK on RHEL9/Rocky 9 system and go through full flow with latest (Chipyard 1.13)
Pending IT setup of system
Tapeout deadline is a priority, but the larger priority is establishing a flow that will work for us on future SoC designs. After tapeout deadline, we will investigate alternatives like siliconcompiler and Cadence Stylus
Automated DAC design (to be submitted to Code-a-Chip by the end of April)
Working on adding binary-weighted topology
Parasitic extraction for IHP-SG13 under development KLayout-PEX
