Hi, I would like to do a timing analysis after PnR, using some open-source PDKs. However, I found that:
1. Seems like some of the PDKs don't support Synthesis (lack of .lib or .db)
2. I might need to find opensource .v benchmark -> synthesis to get netlist -> do PnR.
So I'm wondering whether I could straightly get some open-source netlist relevant to any specific PDK? So that I can simply skip the Synthesis and finish the remaining steps?
Or maybe I'm doing it in a wrong way? After all, I just want to go through the ASIC design flow and eventually do timing analysis using PrimeTime/Tempus, using some open-source PDK and benchmarks. Is there any suitable PDK for this task?
I would be appreciated if I could get any help
