# 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 <u>self-driven study</u> 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.

## 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.
