Maze Route cannot find path of net after custom macro placement

[Fahim36201]

Changing macro placement causes: Maze Route cannot find path of net dmem/inter_dmem2 in worker of routeBox ( 79380 7560 ) ( 83160 11340 ).
Have tried changing top routing layer to M8
Also, set_global_routing_layer_adjustment $env(MIN_ROUTING_LAYER)-$env(MAX_ROUTING_LAYER) 0.5
And, set_global_routing_layer_adjustment $env(MIN_ROUTING_LAYER)-$env(MAX_ROUTING_LAYER) 0.65
Didn't help

To recreate the problem:

Design_nickname: riscv32i
Die_area: 0 0 120 120
Core_area: 5 5 110 110
Note: nothing changed in design/asap7/riscv32i/config.mk

@Fahim36201
Your're saying changing macro placement causes issue in first line.
In recreate problem nothing changed in config,mk.
In flow tutorial video explained how to create reproducible test. Just follow that and attach the test case.

@vijayank88 here are the log files of macro place and route.
5_1_fastroute.log
5_2_TritonRoute.log

I just tried with my local installation. Not facing any issue.
I think it is problem with your installation or setup.
ping me on slack channel with Direct Message

run make clean_all and run the flow again and check for riscv32i

have you tried placing macros in locations other than the default one?

[vijayank88]

I was asking that config.mk and custom macro placement configuration file. You're not shared yet

[Fahim36201]

hi @vijayank88 knocked you personally in slack

[vijayank88]

For custom macro placement create macro.cfg to point which coordinates to place. Refer this format.
Add macro.cfg in config.mk with variable name export MACRO_PLACEMENT=<path to>/macro.cfg
Run the flow and check in OpenROAD gui, is macros placed as per configuration or not.
