Sky130 commercial tutorial Place & Route fail

[johnw08]

Hello,

I'm following the Sky130 commercial tutorial and I'm using Genus and Innovus. The synthesis step works fine but place & route stuck at 2nd line of floorplan.tcl:

place_inst system/tile_prci_domain/tile_reset_domain_tile/dcache/data/data_arrays_0/data_arrays_0_ext/mem_0_0 50 50 r90

This line triggers the following error:

**ERROR: (IMPTCM-162): "system/tile_prci_domain/tile_reset_domain_tile/dcache/data/data_arrays_0/data_arrays_0_ext/mem_0_0" does not match any object in design for specified type "inst " object in command "place_inst".

It seems like the object path was not set properly. Any help on where I could do wrong please? Thank you.

This was fixed in ucb-bar/chipyard#1882.

Thank you for the quick response. I cloned a new repository and checked out to this commit and re-run the tutorial. It did pass that line of code in floorplan.tcl file, but it failed on the next line.
