Flow Configuration Variables

This page is the comprehensive manual for user-configurable flow variables and their default values. Variables that are defined by the PDK configuration support files and not the flow itself are listed in this chapter.

:::{admonition} A couple things to keep in mind

• This is a comprehesive list- there are many variables here you would never need to touch. If you want just a brief list of variables you should be using, see the usage guide Hardening Macros.

• Deprecated variables are automatically translated to their new names for at least 6 months. Removed variables will be entirely ignored by the flow.

• Variables prefixed RUN_ enable or disable a certain step as part of the larger OpenLane flow, not when calling the relevant function standalone. For example, if RUN_DRT is set 0, but calling detailed_routing in interactive mode will still run detailed routing. :::

General

The `` `include `` directive is *not* supported in Verilog files. List all the
files you may be depending on, including headers, in `VERILOG_FILES`.

Variable	Description
PDK	Specifies the process design kit (PDK). (Default: sky130A)
DESIGN_NAME	The name of the top level module of the design
VERILOG_FILES	The path of the design's Verilog files, provided as an array of files in JSON or a whitespace-delimited list of files in Tcl. The files are evaluated in order, i.e., if file B depends on file A, file A must be listed first.
CLOCK_PERIOD	The clock period used for clocks in the design, in nanoseconds.
CLOCK_PORT	The name of the design's clock port.
CLOCK_NET	The name of the net input to root clock buffer. (Default: CLOCK_PORT)
STD_CELL_LIBRARY	Specifies the standard cell library to be used under the specified PDK. (Default: sky130_fd_sc_hd)
STD_CELL_LIBRARY_OPT	Specifies the standard cell library to be used during resizer optimizations. (Default: STD_CELL_LIBRARY)
PDK_ROOT	Specifies the folder path of the PDK. It searches for a config.tcl in $::env(PDK_ROOT)/$::env(PDK)/libs.tech/openlane/ directory and at least have one standard cell library config defined in $::env(PDK_ROOT)/$::env(PDK)/libs.tech/openlane/$::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY).
DIODE_PADDING	Number of sites to left pad DIODE_CELL during detailed placement. (Default: 2 sites)
MERGED_LEF	Points to merged.lef, which is a merger of various LEF files, including the technology lef, cells lef, any custom lefs, and IO lefs.
NO_SYNTH_CELL_LIST	Specifies the file that contains the don't-use-cell-list to be excluded from the liberty file during synthesis. If it's not defined, this path is searched $::env(PDK_ROOT)/$::env(PDK)/libs.tech/openlane/$::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY)/no_synth.cells and if it's not found, then the original liberty will be used as is.
DRC_EXCLUDE_CELL_LIST	Specifies the file that contains the don't-use-cell-list to be excluded from the liberty file during synthesis and timing optimizations. If it's not defined, this path is searched $::env(PDK_ROOT)/$::env(PDK)/libs.tech/openlane/$::env(STD_CELL_LIBRARY)/drc_exclude.cells and if it's not found, then the original liberty will be used as is. In other words, DRC_EXCLUDE_CELL_LIST contain the only excluded cell list in timing optimizations.
BASE_SDC_FILE	Specifies the base SDC file using during the flow. It is the default SDC file used for PNR_SDC_FILE and SIGNOFF_SDC_FILE (Default: $::env(OPENLANE_ROOT)/scripts/base.SDC)
PNR_SDC_FILE	Specifies the SDC file used during all implementation (PnR) stages. It is used by tools in the flow and during STA done at these stages. It is not used during signoff stage. (Default: $::env(BASE_SDC_FILE))

Macros/Chip Integration

Variable	Description
VERILOG_FILES_BLACKBOX	Black-boxed, Verilog files where the implementation is ignored. Useful for pre-hardened macros you incorporate into your design, used during synthesis and opensta. /// sta-blackbox can be added to a file in order skip that file while doing sta. This will blackbox all the modules definied inside that file. It is recommended to provide a gatelevel netlist whenever possible to do full sta.
EXTRA_LEFS	Specifies LEF files of pre-hardened macros used in the current design, used in placement and routing.
EXTRA_LIBS	Specifies LIB files of pre-hardened macros used in the current design, used during timing analysis. (Optional)
EXTRA_GDS_FILES	Specifies GDS files of pre-hardened macros used in the current design, used during tape-out.

Linting

• If you're running a hierarchical design (i.e. one that incorporates Macros or directly instantiates SCLs), Linting may not work correctly. You have two options:
  1. Provide blackboxes for all gate-level models instantiated by the top level design or any of its macros.
     • Files in VERILOG_FILES_BLACKBOX will not be included by default.
  2. Disable linting altogether.

• Tim Edwards's Explanation on disabling hier gds: The following is an explanation by Tim Edwards, provided in a slack thread, on how this affects the GDS writing process: "Magic can take a very long time writing out GDS while checking hierarchical interactions in a standard cell layout. If your design is all digital, I recommend using "gds *hier write disable" before "gds write" so that it does not try to resolve hierarchical interactions (since by definition, standard cells are designed to just sit next to each other without creating DRC issues). That can actually make the difference between a 20 hour GDS write and a 2 minute GDS write. For a standard cell design that takes up the majority of the user space, a > 24 hour write time (without disabling the hierarchy checks) would not surprise me."
