maksyuki 87df13fb46 feat: add ECC flow for padless ICS55 core hardening
- Introduced a new ECC directory containing scripts and Makefile for the padless ICS55 core hardening flow.
- Updated the main Makefile to include the new ECC Makefile and added relevant help commands.
- Added dependencies for the ECC CLI in the dependencies.lock.json file.
- Created README documentation for the ECC flow detailing usage and requirements.
- Implemented various scripts for configuration generation, validation, output checking, and packaging of ECC results.
- Added unit tests to validate the ECC configuration and flow behavior.

ECC ICS55 Core Hardening

This directory owns the on-demand ECOS Chip Compiler (ECC) hardening adapter for the padless retrosoc_core macro on the committed configs/ci/ics55.mk profile. It consumes the locked ECC v0.1.0-alpha.10 Linux CLI release, the locked ICS55 PDK checkout, the cached H7CR slow Liberty view, and the canonical generated SoC sources and clock-domain constraints.

The flow deliberately does not use retrosoc_asic, IO LEFs/Liberties, pad cells, a pad ring, bondpads, package constraints, or board timing. Logical ports remain macro pins. The generated SDC constrains the external, generated system, audio, JTAG, DVP, and ULPI domains; ECC must accept that SDC through its PDK overrides. A single-clock fallback is not permitted.

Run the flow through the root Makefile:

make CONFIG=configs/ci/ics55.mk ecc-setup
make CONFIG=configs/ci/ics55.mk ecc-doctor
make CONFIG=configs/ci/ics55.mk ecc-core
make CONFIG=configs/ci/ics55.mk ecc-package

Inputs, logs, the ECC workspace, reports, and packaged views live below build/<variant>/physical/ecc/core/; the CLI archive and extracted tool live below .cache/retrosoc/. They are generated evidence, not tracked source.

ECC hardening is development evidence only. The ICS55 preview PDK and this padless flow do not establish foundry DRC/LVS, IR/EM, ESD, package, board, or production-signoff closure.
