maksyuki c8187284d0 feat(tiny): add scripts for SDC generation and packaging
- Introduced  to create pad-aware timing constraints for the Tiny IHP130 chip flow.
- Added  to create a checksummed delivery archive for the Tiny LibreLane implementation.
- Created  for synthesis-only header of the locked IHP SRAM macro physical views.
- Implemented  to limit OpenSTA report enumeration for path counts.
- Updated  to include power pad definitions.
- Enhanced  to handle power pad counts and validation.
- Added tests for Tiny flow and pin map validation, including power pad overrides and constraints.

Physical Design

This directory owns physical-design integration, managed technology inputs, smoke implementation-flow sources, and the self-developed commercial-flow drivers.

  • pdk/ contains the locked PDK setup helpers and managed PDK checkouts.
  • smoke/syn/ contains Yosys synthesis and source-export integration.
  • smoke/sta/ contains OpenSTA constraints and timing integration.
  • librelane/ contains the open-source IHP130 implementation flows, organized per product line: librelane/mini/ (core hardening and full-chip pad ring) and librelane/tiny/ (Tiny full-chip pad ring).
  • ecc/ contains the open-source ICS55 padless-core hardening flow backed by the locked ECOS Chip Compiler release.
  • commercial/ contains licensed-tool orchestration and flow logic. PDKs, foundry decks, commercial libraries, site configuration, and results remain outside Git.
  • sdf/, when supplied by an implementation flow, contains post-layout netlist and SDF collateral consumed by post-layout simulation.

The local Makefile is reserved for implementation flows that require the selected PDK, technology collateral, and often site-specific tools.

Generated layout, report, and database outputs must remain outside tracked source paths. Treat PDK-dependent physical-design results as toolchain-specific evidence and record the selected profile, PDK, and validation command when handing off a change. See Engineering Workflow.
