Repository Details

OpenROAD's scripts implementing an RTL-to-GDS Flow. Documentation at https://openroad-flow-scripts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

OpenROAD Flow

Build Status Docs

OpenROAD-flow-scripts (ORFS) is a fully autonomous, RTL-GDSII flow for rapid architecture and design space exploration, early prediction of QoR and detailed physical design implementation. However, ORFS also enables manual intervention for finer user control of individual flow stages through Tcl commands and Python APIs.

Tool Installation

Docker Based Installation

To ease dependency installation issues, ORFS uses docker images. Docker image includes ORFS binaries, applications as well as all required dependencies. All of the flow tools are encapsulated inside the container image.

If Docker is not installed already, install latest docker tool based on OS from here.

To manage docker as non-root user and verify that you can run docker commands without sudo must complete steps from here.

Build ORFS with Docker

Document for detailed steps on docker based installation found here.

Pre-built Binaries

You can download, set up and run ORFS easily with pre-built binaries, including OpenROAD, Yosys and Klayout. See instructions here.

Thanks to Precision Innovations for providing and supporting OpenROAD based binaries.

Note Only the latest version of OpenROAD is guaranteed to work with the latest version of ORFS.

Disclaimer The versions of OpenROAD, Yosys and Klayout provided by other third-party vendors are not guaranteed to work with ORFS.

Local Installation

Document for detailed local installation steps found here.

Using the Flow

  • For details about the OpenROAD and the available features and individual flows commands, see the documentation here.
  • For details about automated flow setup, see ORFS docs here.
  • Flow tutorial to run the complete OpenROAD based flow from RTL-GDSII, see the tutorial here.
  • To watch ORFS flow tutorial videos, check here.
