AttributeError: module 'openroad' has no attribute 'tool' Erro happened when running the sky130-openroad example in hammer

[ZhaoHaowenn]

The chipyard version is 1.8.1 and hammer version is 0.1.0. I specifid the path to openroad in example-openroad.yml. And The synthesis has passed. But make par tutorial=ky130-openroad failed. Here are the error messages:

File "/root/chipyard/vlsi/hammer/src/hammer-vlsi/hammer_vlsi/hammer_vlsi_impl.py", line 2163, in load_tool
tool_class = getattr(mod, "tool")
AttributeError: module 'openroad' has no attribute 'tool'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

How should I run without error? Or should I update to the latest hammer？

Hello, this might be a chipyard vs hammer version issue. In your example-openroad.yml file, does the par YAML key look like this:

vlsi.core.par_tool: "hammer.par.openroad"

Or like this:

vlsi.core.par_tool: "openroad"
vlsi.core.par_tool_path: ["hammer/src/hammer-vlsi/par"]
vlsi.core.par_tool_path_meta: "append"

Because if the ~chipyard/vlsi/hammer/src/hammer-vlsi/hammer_vlsi/hammer_vlsi_impl.py file is being called it expects the latter format, but we switched to use the much-simplified first format.

I will also mention, we are about to push many changes to the sky130+openroad tutorial flow in the next chipyard release happening this week that will significantly improve results. So it may be worthwhile to wait for those changes.
