• @David Burnett

  • 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
