# Overview
This repository runs the following pipecleaner designs through a digital physical design flow using Design Compiler and Innovus with the SkyWater open source 130nm PDK.
* GcdUnit - computes the greatest common divisor function, consists of 100-200 gates
* SramWrapper - uses an OpenRAM generated SRAM (to be added soon)
# Setup
To run this flow, please install the following dependencies first:
* `skywater-pdk`
Get SkyWater PDK:
```
git clone https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk.git
cd skywater-pdk
```
The cell libraries are in submodules that need to be checked out independently:
```
git submodule update --init libraries/sky130_fd_sc_hd/latest
```
To create liberty files, go into top-level and do:
```
make timing
```
* `mflowgen` - This is a tool to create ASIC design flows in a modular fashion.
Follow the setup steps at https://github.com/mflowgen/mflowgen.
* `skywater-130nm-adk` - This repo has some scripts that convert the SkyWater PDK into the format that mflowgen expects.
# Using the Pipecleaners
First, make sure you update various install paths the `setup.bashrc` file. Then source it.
Next, enter into the build directory of the pipecleaner you want to run, and run the following:
`$MFLOWGEN_HOME/configure --design ../design/`
# Helpful make Targets
* `make list` - list all the nodes in the graphs and their corresponding step number
* `make status` - list the build status of all the steps
* `make graph` - generates a PDF of the graph
* `make N` - runs step N
* `make clean-N` - removes the folder for step N, and sets the status of steps [N,) to build
* `make clean-all` - removes folders for all the steps
* `make runtimes` - lists the runtime for each step
