Steps

  • OpenROAD.*

    • All steps now output both a powered AND an unpowered netlist with only logical cells.
    • Cells for logical netlists are now filtered using LEF classes and not input variables.

  • OpenROAD.Resizer*, OpenROAD.Repair*

    • New experimental variable RSZ_LEC, which attempts to verify that resizing did not alter the functionality of the circuit using EQY.

Misc. Enhancements/Bugfixes

  • New DesignFormat: NETLIST_NO_PHYSICAL_CELLS (unpowered)
    • Heads up: We're going to rename those to simply "logical" in OpenLane 3.

Tool Updates

  • Update nix-eda to ff3ca89
    • Updates Yosys to 0.46
