Part 7 answers: What does the back-end team need from me?
RTL is done when someone else can build a chip from it, not when simulation passes. This part packages mini_controller the way the back-end expects: constraints it can read, a release package that lists what it contains and what is known to be missing.
It stays on the front-end side throughout: what happens inside physical design, sign-off timing and DRC/LVS belongs to the PD, STA and DFT courses, linked from here and never retaught.
Read an SDC constraints file and say what each block asks the tools to do.
Assemble a release package with RTL, constraints, docs and a version record.
Name what stays front-end and what the PD, STA and DFT courses own.

Every lesson in this part is ready. Work through them in order: each one sets up the problem the next one solves.
This course stays on the front-end start-up path and links out instead of repeating. These lessons build on or continue what this part teaches.
