The backend supports now checking of equivalence as well as basic checks for validity of layouts. The results folders will contain the corresponding additional reports going forward. As indicated, these checks are parts of the constraints to be met for acceptance/scoring. Also remember that, for the alpha round, you only need to submit some valid solutions; scores are not considered for passing of the alpha round.
Note that the constraints on PG network and IO pins placement are not working yet. Given these delays, we’ll skip these two constraints for the alpha round, but we will most likely bring them back for the final round.
