Description

An open-source infrastructure for VLSI design automation tool set.

Software Architecture

Key components include:

• Database - OpenEDI database, core module.
• Parser - parse standard data format and import data to OpenEDI databade.
• CommandManager - manage commands.
• MessageManager - manage messages.
• IOManager - High-performance file IO.
• GUI - Graphic user interface

Building Dependency (Recommend)

• GCC 6.5.0
• Cmake 3.12.4
• Qt 5.9.7
• Python 3.6
• Google test(Integrated as a submodule)
• Pybind11(Integrated as a submodule)
• Boost 1.55 +
• Tcl/Tk 8.6.9+
• Flex 2.5.37+
• Bison 3.0.0+
• Gperftools 2.7.90
• LZ4 1.9.2

Deploy development environment

1.Manual configuration guide

• Ubuntu 20.04
• CentOS 7.9

2.Dockerfile(Recommend)

• Download the dockerfile Ubuntu 20.04 or CentOS 7.9, then build the docker image

docker build -t openedi -f fast_deploy_ubuntu_20.04.dockerfile .
or
docker build -t openedi -f fast_deploy_centos_7.9.dockerfile .

docker run --name openedi -it -p 2222:22 -d openedi

• Login to the container, check out and build the code.

docker exec -it openedi bash
or
ssh root@localhost -p 2222

• Default username:root, password:Passw0rd

Installation

1. Clone the repository with submodules.

git clone --recursive https://gitee.com/niiceda/open-edi.git

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and the submodules in two steps.

git clone https://gitee.com/niiceda/open-edi.git
cd open-edi
git submodule update --init

2. Build the program.

mkdir build   # assume you are inside the root directory of the repository
cd build
cmake ..      # you may add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/install/path to specify the build installation location, which by default is <repository>/
make          # you may add -j to turn on parallel building
make test     # optional step to run unittests
make docs     # optional step to generate HTML documentations
make install  # install 'openeda' binary and all related files in build installation location

Instructions

1. Once installed (after make install), you can find the 'openeda' binary under 'your/install/path/bin/' directory. Run the binary <your/install/path/bin/>openeda in your design location, and try the openeda TCL commands:

OpenEDA> read_lef test.lef
OpenEDA> read_verilog test.v
OpenEDA> read_def test.def
OpenEDA> read_timing_library test.lib

2. You can also find some test cases in demo directory, and run them with the binary just built.:

cd demo
tar xvf demo_case.tar.xz
cd demo_case
run.sh <your/install/path/bin/openeda>
