- Nothing new.
New IBISCHK bugs:
- Bob: I sent bug194 for upload. It will be introduced June 8.
IBISCHK7 parser development:
- Bob Ross showed a spreadsheet.
- Bob: This shows items that should be in data structures.
- Some of the data are optional.
- A power rail terminal is only accessible through the *_ref terminals.
- With [Pin Mapping] there is more information.
- Mike: What are the numbers in the spreadsheet?
- Bob: Those are footnote numbers.
- Mike: D4-6 are empty.
- Bob filled in D4 with "rail_pin_names".
- Bob: If buffer terminal reference and no [Pin Mapping], then
default connections will be used.
- This table shows the pecking order from left to right.
- Mike: IBISCHK does not have this kind of data structure.
- Bob: We now need this for checking.
- Bob described a number of rules.
- Mike: Is the I/O terminal more straightforward?
- Bob: Yes. There are fewer options for I/O.
- Mike: This needs to be more self-explanatory to be in the parser doc.
- Bob: Another approach is to always determine a signal name.
- There could be lists of I/O terminals associated pulldown/pullup.
- Bob showed his Oct 2017 EPEPS summit presentation.
- Bob: This was shown to the interconnect task group too.
- BIRD182 dropped the requirement to have every pi in [Pin Mapping].
- Mike: can [Bus Label] exist without [Pin Mapping]?
- Bob: Yes. We require a signal name, and this creates a bus-label for a
signal_name.
- [Die Supply Pads] has signal name and optional bus_label.
- If bus_label not defined anywhere it is the signal_name.
- Bob Ross moved to adjourn. Mike LaBonte seconded.
Without objection the meeting ended.
