Contributing to OpenROAD

[Dhirenderchoudhary]

Hello everyone 👋

My name is Dhirender, and I’m a 3rd year Electronics Engineering student.
I’m excited to join the community as a contributor and learner.

Currently, I’m working on building a Blood Pressure Monitor System, and I’m using the OpenROAD libraries with Genus for synthesis as part of my VLSI/ASIC flow. I’ve started exploring the OpenROAD ecosystem, understanding the flow, libraries, and how synthesis integrates with downstream steps.

I’m looking forward to learning from the community, collaborating with contributors, and improving my understanding of real-world OpenROAD-based design flows. If there are any recommended starting points, docs, or areas where I can contribute or learn more, I’d be happy to get involved.

Thanks, and excited to be here!

Are you looking for idea in c++ development or more in the area of flows and usage for OpenROAD-flow-scripts?

Thank you for your reply.
I have good knowledge of C++, and I have also worked with OpenROAD scripts for synthesis during my college projects(Blood Pressure Monitor Chip). I found OpenROAD very helpful and I am really interested in being a part of it.
I am currently unable to access the OpenROAD ideas list, so it would be very helpful if you could provide some project ideas. I will then choose the one that best matches my interests.
