Setting up TT tools

• A chunk of the required setup is found in yesterday's 0066 journal.
• To run ./tt/tt_tool.py --create-pdf we also need to install pandoc:

  sudo apt update -y
  sudo apt install -y pandoc texlive-xetex

Building and viewing GDS

I now run this:

cd ~/anton/anton1-tt03
OPENLANE_IMAGE_NAME=efabless/openlane:cb59d1f84deb5cedbb5b0a3e3f3b4129a967c988-amd64 ./tt/tt_tool.py --harden && ./tt/tt_tool.py --create-png && xdg-open gds_render.png

...assuming above setup steps have been done, inc. cloning into the tt subdir.

Notes

• TT PDF headings bug (in TOC)
• PDF anchors?
• How does TT ChipTune example work with its tricky scan chain hack??
• Need to find out how to actually publish stuff to GitHub Pages.
• Final number of sky130 standard cells required seems to be reported in runs/wokwi/reports/synthesis/1-synthesis.AREA_0.stat.rpt
