| Hi everybody,
|
|
|
| I already build OpenROAD GUI to run on Ubuntu Linux. Now I'm looking for a sample project that can open directly via main menu `File > Open DB` in OpenROAD GUI (like the below image), I have spent a lot of time to find the way (reading read-me, watching video, etc) to do it, but I did not complete.
|
| I found a data test at https://github.com/TILOS-AI-Institute/MacroPlacement/tree/main/Flows/NanGate45/ariane133 but seems it cannot open directly by OpenROAD and maybe need to do several pre-processing steps before can open in OpenROAD GUI.
|
| Could you please help me to know how to do it or give me detail instructions to open this test data in the OpenROAD GUI?
|
| Thanks.

| Hi @vic4key,
|
|
|
| It's not clear what's failing, and what you would like to see? It would also be helpful if you uploaded the data you could upload your test data in a zip folder and post it here. So that we can debug th issue. |

|
| Same design implemented in OpenROAD-flow-scripts. https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/tree/master/flow/designs/nangate45/ariane136
|
| All you need to install OpenROAD-flow-scripts and run the design and view it in OpenROAD GUI.
|
| Installation document available here: https://openroad-flow-scripts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/BuildLocally.html |

| cuda will make almost no difference to runtime. I would start by running gcd as it is the smallest test case. |
