ICC2 scripts?

[nachiket]

Hi -- would you consider open-sourcing the ICC2 scripts? I'm interested to see how the backend place-and-route flow works.

Hello, Due to legal reasons, We can not share ICC2 scripts publicly.
We need to have a three way NDA with SNPS, even for sharing scripts with other parties.
But we have a publication coming up in ISPD2021,
which will give a fair idea of how you can quickly place-and-route the generated netlist.

Also, We have a short term plan to implement similar place-and-route flow in opensource EDA tools,
which should be ready before Summer 2021.

We also have in our pipeline to implement a "wrapper" that can hide the proprietary commands (from the EDA vendors) to make things easier to exchange. It should take a few months.
