To do some preparation (users):
You may wish to follow some of the other things such as configuring apt,
locales and keyboard, from the above-linked debian-admin HOWTO.
-bootloader, kernel, ssh access, all these are
-unnecessary. do run "apt clean" to clear out /var/cache/apt/archives

-## Information from Jean-Paul
+You can try the ARM in alliance-check-toolkit:
-There should be very soon a website at https://coriolis.lip6.fr (it is not yet
-online). Where I intend to put all the documentation about Alliance/Coriolis.
+ cd alliance-check-toolkit/benchsARM/cmos/
+ make lvx
-In the meantime did you find the doc shipped with Coriolis ?
+This should take about five minutes. It's symbolic, but should be a configuration compatible with 180nm. To actually see the results:
+
+ make cgt
+
+Then:
+
+ Select File -> Open Cell or press CTRL + o
+
+Enter as the cell name (without the single quotation marks):
+
+ 'arm_chip_cts_r'
+
+As a very rough approximation, you can say that one lambda equals 180nm.
+
+It depends on the zoom level and of the fact that you ask to see the inside of the cells.
+
+To actually see the transistors:
+
+ Tools -> Controller -> Filter Tab -> check "Process Terminal Cells"
+
+You can also tweak the layer display by selecting:
+
+ Tools -> Controller -> Layers & Go
+
+ You can quicly hide/show the Controller with:
+
+ CTRL+I
+
+The up-to-date documentation is supplied directly in the Coriolis repository:
+
+ coriolis/documentation/output/index.html
+
+The links toward the doxygen doc will be invalid a this point, but everything else works.
+
+After installation, it is put in:
+
+ coriolis-2.x/Linux.x86_64/Release.Shared/install/share/doc/coriolis2/en/html/index.html
+
+## More Information from Jean-Paul
+
+There is a WIP documentation website for Alliance/Coriolis at <http://coriolis.lip6.fr/>.
There are also very cursory informations about installing Alliance here:

(with a basic doc under "doc/"...)
+# Clone "soclayout" repository and place and route a layout experiment
+
+In order to do the physical layout of the logical
+netlists generated by yosys we use coriolis and
+alliace installed above by doing the following
+(using experiment9 as an example):
+
+ $ cd ~/src
+ $ git clone https://git.libre-soc.org/git/soclayout.git
+ $ cd soclayout/
+ $ find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/'lkcl'/'"$USER"'/g' {} \;
+ $ ./mksym.sh
+ $ cd experiments9
+ $ ./mksym.sh
+ $ yosys
+ yosys> read_ilang test_issuer.il
+ yosys> heirarchy -check -top test_issuer
+ yosys> synth -top test_issuer
+ yosys> dfflibmap -liberty /home/USERNAME/alliance/install/cells/sxlib/sxlib.lib
+ yosys> abc -liberty /home/USERNAME/alliance/install/cells/sxlib/sxlib.lib
+ yosys> clean
+ yosys> write_blif test_issuer.blif
+ yosys> exit
+ $ make layout (will take between 20min and 2 hours depending on your hardware)
+ $ make view
+
+A window should open with with contents that look like this (pretty isn't it?)

+
+# Issues running from (e.g.) archlinux as host and debian as a chroot
+
+You may run into difficulties firing up GUI applications from the chroot.
+Try installing Xnest <https://box.matto.nl/xnest.html> which you should
+do in the *host* system. Also remember to install a "basic" window manager
+(twm, fvwm2)
+
+On the *host*, run Xnest and a window manager:
+
+ Xnest :1 -ac &
+ twm -display :1 &
+
+Then, in the chroot, change DISPLAY environment variable (permanently
+in ~/.bash_profile if desired)
+
+ export DISPLAY=:1.0
+
+Then, in the chroot, follow the cgt instructions above, or use "make view"
+in any of the soclayout experiments or alliance-check-toolkit bench tests
