NAME


qflow - Open-Source Digital Synthesis Flow

SYNOPSIS


qflow [processes] [options] <module_name>

DESCRIPTION


This is the main executable for a complete tool chain for synthesizing digital circuits
starting from verilog source and ending in physical layout for a specific target
fabrication process. In the world of commercial electronics, digital synthesis with a
target application of a chip design is usually bundled into large EDA software systems. As
commercial electronics designers need to maintain cutting-edge performance, these
commercial toolchains get more and more expensive, and have largely priced themselves out
of all but the established integrated circuit manufacturers. This leaves an unfortunate
gap where startup companies and small businesses cannot afford to do any sort of
integrated circuit design.

Qflow tries to fill this gap.

PROCESSES


synthesize
Synthesize verilog source

place Run initial placement

sta Static timing analysis

route Run placement and route

decongest
Run congestion analysis, final place and route

clean Remove temporary working files

display
Display routed result

build Run scripts synthesize to route

all Run scripts synthesize to display

OPTIONS


-T, --tech <name>
Use technology <name> (Default: osu035)

-p, --project <name>
Project root directory is <name>

USAGE


The simplest way to use qflow is to be in a directory with one Verilog file called input.v
and execute:

qflow build input.v

This will run all the necessary steps in order to produce a layout of the specified
Verilog file. If only certain steps are desired, one may first run:

qflow input.v

and then open qflow_exec.sh and uncomment the desired steps, and at last run:

./qflow_exec.sh

It is also possible to change other "project-specific" details in the files qflow_vars.sh
and project_vars.sh which also have been created in the current directory.

TECHNOLOGY


qflow looks for technology files under /usr/share/qflow/tech. A shell script must be
placed in a sub directory there declaring where each of the technology files are located:

/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME].sh

Usually, the files needed are placed in the following locations:

/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/SCN4M_SUBM.20.tech
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME].magicrc
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME].prm
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME]_stdcells.v
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME]_stdcells.lef
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME].par
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME]_stdcells.sp
/usr/share/qflow/tech/[TECHNAME]/[TECHNAME]_stdcells.lib

If no technology name is specified on the command line with the -T/--tech option, it will
attempt to use the default technology which is "osu035".

If the technology files are located somewhere else, this can be specified in qflow_vars.sh
which is created when running qflow. The variables "techdir" and "techname" must be
changed accordingly.
