From 0bee385e712971d51dde655b25d21a4512d94764 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Malloy Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 02:16:23 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Add exact-geometry (orthogonal, DRC-clean) routing track Adds route/exact_router.py: routes with the grid track's rip-up/multi-layer/ via topology search in orthogonal mode (axis-aligned segments -> exact IntBox copper), then verifies clearance exactly against a ShapeSearchTree. A net whose copper would come closer than the clearance to any accepted item is dropped, so the emitted geometry is DRC-clean by construction; endpoints stay exactly on pads and vias at real layer transitions. GridRouter gains a non-breaking orthogonal option (4-connected). The pipeline gains an engine= selector: 'grid' (default, unchanged, highest coverage) or 'exact' (DRC-verified). The grid MVP stays the fallback. On the designed boards the exact track routes every net DRC-clean; on the real KiCad board it matches the grid's connectivity (4/4 multi-pin nets) and is DRC-clean where the grid MVP's widened centrelines are not. Deferred: shove, and 45-degree/IntOctagon trace caps. Tests: the exact router's output has no clearance violation (exact IntBox check) on every fixture; endpoints on pads; traces orthogonal; crossing uses a via; and a direct comparison showing the exact track is clean where the grid MVP violates on the real board. Oracle-gated parity for engine='exact'. --- src/freeroute/route/__init__.py | 13 ++- src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py | 135 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/freeroute/route/grid_router.py | 8 +- src/freeroute/route/pipeline.py | 57 ++++++++-- tests/route/test_exact_router.py | 154 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 356 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py create mode 100644 tests/route/test_exact_router.py diff --git a/src/freeroute/route/__init__.py b/src/freeroute/route/__init__.py index 22f7587..2f270ec 100644 --- a/src/freeroute/route/__init__.py +++ b/src/freeroute/route/__init__.py @@ -14,8 +14,15 @@ multi-layer via search, and shove are deferred. from __future__ import annotations +from .exact_router import ExactRouteResult, route_board_exact from .grid_router import GridRouter, RouteResult, route_board -from .pipeline import build_routing_result, route, route_dsn_board +from .pipeline import ( + build_exact_routing_result, + build_routing_result, + route, + route_dsn_board, + route_dsn_board_exact, +) __all__ = [ "GridRouter", @@ -24,4 +31,8 @@ __all__ = [ "route", "route_dsn_board", "build_routing_result", + "ExactRouteResult", + "route_board_exact", + "build_exact_routing_result", + "route_dsn_board_exact", ] diff --git a/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py b/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7c3b953 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py @@ -0,0 +1,135 @@ +"""Exact-geometry routing track (orthogonal), built on the search tree. + +The grid MVP (:mod:`freeroute.route.grid_router`) approximates clearance with +cell occupancy and emits centrelines with no width-aware DRC check.
