SoC OpenROAD

Overview

Use the registered soc-openroad MCP server. Prefer the validated local ORFS execution path with backend=local, orfs_dir=${SILICON_CREW_ORFS_DIR}, and jobs=1. Use Docker/Podman only when explicitly requested with backend=auto, backend=docker, or backend=podman. Keep OpenROAD-flow-scripts and OpenROAD source trees independent from the SoC repository; store design-owned handoff files under pd/openroad/<platform>/<design>/.

Layout contract

Use this scheme for vibe_soc-style projects:

<project>/
└── pd/openroad/
    ├── <platform>/<design>/
    │   ├── config.mk
    │   └── constraint.sdc
    └── work_local/           # default local ORFS logs/objects/reports/results; ignored by Git
