# **Synthesis, Place \& Route (SP\&R):**
Here we provide the setup to run SP&R of Ariane design with 133 macros on NanGate45 using commercial and open-source tools. First, we provide the steps for netlist preparation and then discuss the SP&R flow.

## **SP\&R Flow:**
We implement the Ariane design on the NanGate45 platform using the proprietary (commercial) tools **Cadence Genus** (Synthesis) and **Cadence Innovus** (P&R), and the open-source tools **Yosys** (Synthesis) and **OpenROAD** (P&R). The required *.lef* and *.lib* files are downloaded from the OpenROAD-flow-scripts (ORFS) [GitHub](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/tree/master/flow/platforms/nangate45). We use the [fakeram](https://github.com/jjcherry56/bsg_fakeram) generator for the NanGate45 platform to generate the 16-bit (256x16, single-ported SRAM) memory. All the required *.lib* and *.lef* files are copied into the [*Enablements/NanGate45*](../../../Enablements/NanGate45/) directory.

### **Using OpenROAD-flow-scripts:**
Clone ORFS and build OpenROAD tools following the steps given [here](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts). To run SP&R using OpenROAD tools follow the below mentioned steps:
1. Copy [*./scripts/OpenROAD/ariane.tar.gz*](./scripts/OpenROAD/ariane.tar.gz) file to *{ORFS Clone Directory}/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/flow/designs/nangate45* area.
1. Copy [*./scripts/OpenROAD/ariane.tar.gz*](./scripts/OpenROAD/ariane.tar.gz) file to *{ORFS Clone Directory}/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/flow/designs/asap7* area.
2. Use command *tar -xvf ariane.tar.gz* to untar *ariane.tar.gz*. This will generate *ariane133* directory which contains all the files required to run SP&R using ORFS. The config file contains the *set_dont_touch* (it is called PRESERVE_CELLS in ORFS) for the memory macros.
3. To launch the SP&R job go to the flow directory and use the below command
