- We provide detailed scripts to run physical synthesis using Synopsys DCTopo. All the scripts are available in the [*./scripts/DCTopoFlow*](./scripts/DCTopoFlow/) directory. We also add the scripts required to generate the inputs for DCTopo, along with a detailed description of each step.
All the flows use the *RTL* from the [*Testcases*](../Testcases/) directory and the *.lef*, *.lib*, and *qrc* files from the [*Enablements*](../Enablements/) directory. The required SRAM models for each testcase are generated and available under the [*Enablements*](../Enablements/) directory. The detailed steps for different tools are as follows.

## **Using OpenROAD-flow-scripts:**
Clone ORFS and build OpenROAD tools following the steps given [here](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts). Use the following steps to run SP&R using OpenROAD tools:
1. Copy *./\<enablement\>/\<testcase\>/scripts/OpenROAD/\<design\>.tar.gz* file to *{ORFS Clone Directory}/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/flow/designs/\<enablement\>* area.
2. Use the command *tar -xvf \<design\>.tar.gz* to untar *\<design\>.tar.gz*. It will generate *\<design\>* directory, which contains all the files required to run SP&R using ORFS.
2. Use the command *tar -xvf \<design\>.tar.gz* to untar *\<design\>.tar.gz*. It will generate a *\<design\>* directory, which contains all the files required to run SP&R using ORFS.
3. To launch the SP&R job, go to the flow directory and use the make command
```
make DESIGN_CONFIG=./designs/<enablement>/<design>/config_hier.mk
