EMIR New hire training

Welcome on board, new hires!

We provide a tree-like training plan for you.
Most of the materials are designed in self-driven study flavor.
Please check below expert-tree first, and start with level-0 lectures.
Good good study, day day up!

Level-0 Background and environment

On board environment setup.

  • Check your environment before next step on_board_check_list.pptx
    Note: if you can't find SH printer driver, use this: Win_x64.zip or ask IT for help

  • Document templates (New version after 20220815) GIGA_VI_Standards

Refresh VLSI knowledge.

  • Step 1: Go through the briefing slide EDA_BG_Briefing.pptx Make sure you are familiar with fundamental terminologies. Try to answer the questions in the slides.
    (Hint 1: most of the answer in this book CMOS_VLSI.part1.rarCMOS_VLSI.part2.rar )
    (Hint 2: You can use FreePDK45_Giga.rar as standard cell library, and use Ngspice to setup transistor-level circuit simulation.)

  • Step 2: Hand out your answers to tutor, you are welcomed to raise new questions to us.

  • Next step: EDA_Traveller

Get ready to survive in Linux world0 A quick start EDA journey.

  • Please follow Survive_linux to learn how to survive in GIGA Linux environment.
  • Please follow Setup_linux to setup / restore / reset your linux VNC development environment, and run quick start EDA.
  • Checkout Quick_shell.docx, make sure you are familiar with Linux shell command...
  • home directory and VNC upgrade procedure (2023/12/17)

Level-1 EDA flow and play with Aguda

The BIG picture of EDA flow and Aguda EDA lab {For new environment)

  • Read through Verilog to manufacture lecture, so you can get the big picture of EDA flow, and play with a tiny chip case.
  • Read through EMIR sign-off basics: SoCDDDDO叩D.docx (From DD谈加)

The BIG picture of Vulcan Power and VP manual {For new environment)

Development flow, an issue cycle

  • How to Create repository (建叩本叩DODD)

  • RD cycle flow check_in_flow_regression_new.pptx ,

    Learn how to get issue, fix, test, verify, review, and submit change.
    Run below script to see check-in guidance ( Thanks to 杜田D )

  • About git:
    Learn git within one hour (why rebase? how to merge, reset, revert?) git_in_one_hour.docx
    Simple git flow introduction and some common issues when using git (contributed by 陈田奇) git_simple_intro.pptx Get used to git branch operation (contributed by 周田邦) https://learngitbranching.js.org/
    Use gitk to trace changes and commits (you may also use gigacode diff) (contributed by 熊叩安)

  • About regression and utility system
    See details in http://10.30.200.21:8088/projects/hongtu-emir/wiki/VP_QA_(regression)_

Useful tools {under /rnd1/jchen/newhire_training/util_scripts )

vp_hello	// show usage and help message
vp_newhire	// setup environments during on-board day
vp_new	        // vp—checkout + vp—make check out code from server and build AG/VP/C日T
vp_checkout     // check out latest code from gitlab server
vp_clean        // clean up binary (make clean)
vp_make         // build VP binary, or...
                      vp_make ir pow            // will make ir and pow module as debug version
                      vp_make ir VERBOSE        // will enable verbose message during compile
                      vp_make pow ta FORCE      // will call a machine and force compile, if resource is limited
ag_make	        // build AG binary, or...
	        // usage is same as vp—make
cht_make	// build CHT binary 
	        // usage is same as vp—make
rs_make	        // build RS binary

vp_sync/ag_sync/cht_sync	// get latest code from server, and refresh ctags
vp_sync_force   // 髻 强伲merge conflict叩叩且叩正叩交叩 
vp_regression   // run VP regression suite under your client (M-ST do for functional check-in flow)
cht_regression  // run C日T regression suite
ag_regression   // run AG regression suite under your client (M-ST do for functional check-in flow)
ag—regression clean  髻 cleanup local regression data, same as "vp—regression clean" 
vp—commit	//print check-in flow guidance
vp—push	        // perform sync-up, AG/C日T/VP build, run simple check, and push your code to gitlab server
vp—revert	// a simple guidance if you want to give-up change, or solve conflict... 
ut—push	        // push changes for ut case, will do --rebase
VP—cut—build	// how to build cut release to AF  (commit id in etc/ci—log)

Note: If vp_sync or git pull failed with "You are not currently on a branch" try to use git checkout hongtu to recover branch info.
