Large files

[aolofsson]

Perhaps not a big issue, but the repo is >800M...seems excessive. Might be worth a large file clean (saw a large mp4 in there for example): repos/OpenFASOC/tapeouts/mpw-1/testsetup/MeasResults/SanityCheckDemo.mp4

[msaligane]

Thanks @aolofsson
We will address that!

[luccareinehr]

@msaligane maybe create a separate repo "openfasoc-tapeouts" for the tapeouts?

This way people who want to use openfasoc get only the tool when cloning the repository (and not other test files)

[msaligane]

Good idea @luccareinehr do you want to address it?

[luccareinehr]

@msaligane Yes sure, but I can't create repos in the idea-fasoc organization.

Could you create one named openfasoc-tapeouts? Then I can submit a pull request there

[msaligane]

@luccareinehr I created a new repo: https://github.com/idea-fasoc/openfasoc-tapeouts
Can you please move the files there.

[luccareinehr]

@msaligane I noticed most of the remaining repository size (~400 MB of 500 MB) is due to the common/platforms/ folder. I'm not sure what we should do about that

[msaligane]

I think that could be optimized as well. Let's discuss that with @proppy

[saicharan0112]

@msaligane are generators using/ planned to use any of the osu libraries listed here? common/platforms/

[msaligane]

we use them for the cryo-gen. We should find a way to have them as submodules or fetch them directly from open-pdks..

[saicharan0112]

Sounds good. We can have them in a seperate repo similar to the testcases (https://github.com/idea-fasoc/openfasoc-tapeouts). Let's work on it when we get some time.

@msaligane I want to work on it , can you please create the repo for this common/platforms/ or share the link of it, if already created

[msaligane]

@Myrausman That would be great! Here you go: https://github.com/idea-fasoc/platforms
We have a Friday weekly meeting you could join if you have cycles. Please let me know!

[Myrausman]

@msaligane I'm really sorry for delayed response, thank you for creating the repo , we can do a quick meeting if you suggest.
