openpowerbot[slack] <Anton Blanchard> lkcl: The output still strips a lot of useful information unfortunately. We need to work with Tristan to improve that (he did preserve signals on interfaces a while ago which was a helpful first step)02:27
openpowerbot[slack] <Anton Blanchard> wrt VSS/VDD, I need to better understand what openlane does. It does seem pretty silly to have to manually insert it into the hierarchy02:28
openpowerbot[mattermost] <lkcl> Anton: yeah it's down to the assumption that at a high-level (verilog, vhdl) having power/ground is a waste of space in the HDL source code18:30
openpowerbot[mattermost] <lkcl> but actual cell library definitions? those definitely need them18:30
openpowerbot[mattermost] <lkcl> openlane is, as you're likely finding, held together with duct-tape :)18:33
openpowerbot[mattermost] <lkcl> whereas coriolis2 is primarily entirely developed long-term by one person (Jean-Paul Chaput), and is, as a result, much more integrated and well-thought-out18:34
openpowerbot[mattermost] <lkcl> that said he could seeeeriously use some help18:34
