This is the third article in this series (click here for the series index) describing the IBM PowerPC™ 405 synthesizable core and peripherals and will cover taking the IP through RTL synthesis and scan chain insertion with the modern versions of the Synopsys tools using the supplied Artisan Library. Integrating a custom library will be addressed in a future article.
This article assumes you have used the previous articles to unpack and install the software to create a functioning simulation environment.
Getting Started: Understanding the Problem
The relevant part of the instruction manual (docs/405_ivug.pdf) is:
Chapter 6: RTL-to-Gates Synthesis
In this chapter we are going to assume that the default Core clock of 250MHz and PLB clock of 125MHz are acceptable, along with the 130nm Artisan library designed for TSMC processes.
Synthesis Scripts
Entering the dc subdirectory of the workspace shows the files in place however a little more digging and we can see that the dc/scripts directory is missing. Using an identical technique to the previous article we can create and populate it.
[Note, in a similar vein to the last article all of the changes will be summarised in a script and instructions at the end]
cd dc
mkdir scripts
cd scripts
ln -s ../../../DW_ppc405-FS_iv_1.0a_AV/dc/scripts/* ./
The script system automates the flow from RTL, Constraints and Cell Library to a gate level netlist:
- run_compile.csh - as the "master" script it sets environment variables and then executes the desired tool, sourcing the setup.tcl script and the appropriate stage script where the stages are "elaboration", "synthesis" and "design for test"
- scripts/p405s_elab.tcl - reads the environment variables set and executes Design Compiler to elaborate the design and save it in a .db file
- scripts/p405s_compile.tcl - reads the environment variables set and executes Design Compiler on the elaborated design to synthesize the design and save the resulting netlist, reports and other useful outputs
- scripts/p405s_dft.tcl - reads the environment variables set and executes Design Compiler on the synthesized design to stitch the scan chains together and enable design for test strategies
This scripting system relies on reading design constraints held in another directory:
dc/constraints
- PPC405F5V1_capture.cons - This is responsible for creating environment variables containing data on the various clock speeds and parameters. It also identifies the clock ports in the design. It also specifies some of the different clock domains.
- PPC405F5V1_clock.cons - This file uses the variables calculated in the constraint file PPC405F5V1_capture.cons to apply constraints to the clocks in the design.
- PPC405F5V1_compile_directives.cons - Instructs Design Compiler to fix multiple port nets, optimise a group of paths at a time for slack as opposed to one path at a time. It also enables a check on clock gating.
- PPC405F5V1_drc.cons - This file constrains the fanouts of the nets and sets attributes on some of the clock control logic so it will pass DRC.
- PPC405F5V1_functional.cons - Creates false paths and multicycle paths through the RAM BIST and Debug sections of the design to allow efficient synthesis.
- PPC405F5V1_group_paths.cons – Only two constraints are added here grouping all the inputs and all the outputs together for efficient synthesis.
- PPC405F5V1_in_out.cons – This applies driving gates to all inputs and loads to all outputs, again to improve the synthesis and increase the accuracy of the reporting Design Compiler is able to achieve. Importantly the characteristics of the clocks are further constrained in this file. Finally more false paths are assigned to the BIST structures, JTAG and test ports.
- PPC405F5V1_shift.cons – This sets the period on the various clock lines of the design when the design is in one of its test modes.
- PPC405F5V1_test.cons - This contains the complex constraints which drive Test Compiler when it inserts scan chains and test modes automatically. It includes defining the scan in/out ports and the state of the various pins in test mode. This presents a particular issue which will be addressed later as the syntax and capabilities of Deign Compiler have changed very significantly.
The first priority for us is that Design Compiler no longer supports saving the design in .db form so we need to repurpose the scripts to store the design in a more modern database. Design Compiler has also changed clock gating and operand isolation commands and compilation to accomodate modern 90nm and below CMOS. Considering that a major rebuild is necessary I am going to show you how to synthesis the design preparing for the use of Milkyway Databases and the Design Compiler Topographical feature. This will enable the porting of this design to 90nm CMOS and below in the future.
In the current system each tool is setup to use files from the Artisan library in the synthesis flow by a single Tcl script which detects what tool is running the script and then configures variables appropriately. This script is called at the start of each specific tool script. There is a lot of useful help in the current scripts as the series of improvements to Design Compiler rely on physical information from the cell library to improve its decisions. The major improvement for sub 90nm CMOS is done by the logic synthesis tool performing a quick preliminary cell placement so it can better model delay, capacitance and power costs of the design during synthesis (topographical mode).
In the following sections the updates required to each individual script are discussed.
Primary Stage Scripts
The main changes to all scripts was a change to save and load the design using the more modern .ddc database format.
[A normal Synopsys flow would store the design in the Milkyway database alongside physical data from the Cell Library but this version of the IP was not designed for this.]
Control Script: run_compile.csh
The master control script parses flags given to it on the command line and then executes Design Compiler in the tcl shell mode running the appropriate stage script. The only change to this script is:
Added a flag -topo to run Design Compiler in topological mode which will enable the use of Milkyway databases in Design Compiler.
[That being said if you are going to use the -ultra flag or the -topo flag you might want to edit the line dc_shell-t -topo -f ./scripts/p405s_compile.tcl | tee logs/p405s_compile.log to include the correct -num_cpus X where X matches the number of processors and licenses you have for faster compiles. This isn't trivial to add as an option to the .csh script without introducing a dependency on the getopts binary so I have left it undone.]
Setup: scripts/setup.tcl
The setup script is run at the start of each and every stage. It pulls in the libraries and sets up a few global variables.
The main changes needed to bring this script into line with modern tools is to include information that would normally be used by Physical Compiler in Design Compiler to support its Topological mode when the -topo mode is specified. This is necessary to manage the shift of importance away from gates (in 130nm and above) to wire lengths (in 90nm and below) which begin to dominate the performance of a design. The physical information is used to perform a rough placement allowing wireloads to be estimated much more accurately. It also has allowed the introduction of novel features such as congestion aware routing which will attempt to address routing issues at a netlist level.
This information is already in there as it was used by the static timing analyses and power estimation tools, but it needs to be enabled when the new topological flag is asserted.
Elaboration: scripts/p405s_elab.tcl
Elaboration consists of reading in HDL files and constructing a representation of the design using components from the cell libraries, i.e. parsing the source code into a generic technology (GTECH) gate-level netlist which is then saved.
The main improvements to the p405_elab.tcl scripts are:
- Removal of obsolete commands
- Conversion of the HDL commands from acs type to analyze types
- Rewriting of the scan chain insertion script section to remove obsolete commands set_scan_signal with set_dft_signal and moving them into the p405s_compile.tcl script
This stage reads in the gate netlist created in the previous elaboration phase and maps it to the specific gates from the chosen cell library, applies constraints and synthesizes an actual working gate level netlist using the target technology.
- Replacement of the -ultra flag with the compile_ultra command
- Force the use of the compile_ultra command when in topographical mode
- Modification of the compile command to insert the scan flops
- Removal of nested if's by building a compile string which is evaluated
In this phase the scan chains are built from the scan flops inserted into the design in the previous script. The design is then incrementally recompiled to minimize the scan logic and the appropriate reports and the test strategies are generated. Note that while few changes were needed to this script the scan constraints and options were completely replaced.
- The script now preserves the use of the -high flag from synthesis to increase the effort of the incremental recompile
There were only two constraint files that needed updating but one needed a complete rebuild to support the new syntax of Test Compiler.
constraints/PPC405F5V1_functional.cons
This file requires a slight modification to cope with a change in Design Compiler's internal bus naming style from signal[0] to signal<0>.
constraints/PPC405F5V1_test.cons
This file required a complete rebuild to manage the syntax changes in the new version of Test Compiler. The major changes are:
- Replacement of create_test_clock, set_scan_signal, set_signal_type and set_test_hold with appropriate set_dft_signal
declarations - Replacement of set_dft_optimization_configuration with set_dft_insertion_configuration
- Reworking of set_scan_configuration flags
Synthesis: Solved
There is one script to link the needed files and one unified patch file which will update all the relevant tool scripts and constraint files to work correctly.
1) Open your favorite text editor and paste in the following script:
#!/bin/bash # # fix_dc_dir.sh # #Copyright Matthew Swabey (matthew@swabey.org). # #You are licensed to use this file in conjunction with the IBM PowerPC 405 coreKit and to make modifications as needed to this script as long as this copyright notice is kept. #This script should be executed from the the new workspace after you have installed it with coreConsultant. UNPACKED_COREKIT_DIR=/export/fastcad/disktmp/mas/IBM_PUB3/DW_ppc405-FS_iv_1.0a_AV #Link the script files needed to synthesise the PPC405 into the workspace from the installed coreKit cd dc mkdir scripts cd scripts ln -s $UNPACKED_COREKIT_DIR/dc/scripts/* ./ cd .. cd .. #Apply the unified patch to update the build scripts and constraint scripts patch -u -p0 < `dirname $0`/fix_dc.diff
2) Edit the top variable, UNPACKED_COREKIT_DIR to have the absolute path to the unpacked coreKit directory. There should be no spaces in the paths.
3) Save this file with a suitable name (e.g. fix_dc_dir.sh) in the new workspace you have created. Make the script executable using the command chmod u+x "filename".
4) Open a new blank file and paste in the following unified diff:

5) Save this file as fix_dc.diff in the same directory as the script - they must be in the same directory for this to work.6) Open a terminal and cd into the top of the workspace you have created. Execute the script and you should see the following output:
patching file ./dc/constraints/PPC405F5V1_functional.cons patching file ./dc/constraints/PPC405F5V1_test.cons patching file ./dc/run_compile.csh patching file ./dc/scripts/p405s_compile.tcl patching file ./dc/scripts/p405s_dft.tcl patching file ./dc/scripts/p405s_elab.tcl patching file ./dc/scripts/p405s_zerowlm.tcl patching file ./dc/scripts/setup.tcl
7) cd into the dc directory of your workspace and run the following command: ./run_compile.csh -elab -synth -dft
8) Eventually you should have a lovely PowerPC™ 405 gate level netlist in ./dc/netlist ...
9) ...
10) Profit!
