add obstruction layers to user_project_wrapper to prevent router from using the area checked by xor
in a congested design, the router will use the area around the user_project_wrapper pins. this often results in an xor error with the open_mpw_precheck
either:
check less area in the precheck
or
add default obstruction layers protecting this area so the router doesn't use it.
This i a user project level issue outside of caravel and is being moved out of the caravel redesign issue. Belongs in user project wrapper.
@mattvenn is this still an issue?
I haven't seen it again, but don't know if it's solved or not
@kareefardi review current user_project_wrapper to see if this is still an issue.
If congested - there were cases where openlane was routing outside the PR boundary.
@marwaneltoukhy @kareefardi please review and close if no longer an issue.
suspect design to check
