+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""Generate a chip-level Verilog wrapper that adds an I/O padring around the
+already-elaborated AegisFPGA core.
+
+Inputs (env vars):
+  IN_SV         - core SV file containing the AegisFPGA module
+  OUT_SV        - output SV file for the chip wrapper
+  CORE_MODULE   - name of the core module being wrapped (default AegisFPGA)
+  CHIP_MODULE   - name of the new top module (default AegisFPGAChip)
+  PAD_BIDIR     - bidirectional pad cell name (e.g. gf180mcu_fd_io__bi_t)
+  PAD_INPUT     - input pad cell name (e.g. gf180mcu_fd_io__in_s)
+  PAD_VDD       - VDD power-pad cell name
+  PAD_VSS       - VSS power-pad cell name
+  POWER_PAD_PER_SIDE - number of VDD+VSS pad pairs per die side (default 2)
+
+Each AegisFPGA port becomes a bond-pad-bearing port on the chip wrapper:
+  - padIn[i] / padOut[i] / padOutputEnable[i] triplets fold into a single
+    bidirectional pad named pad_io[i].
+  - Other inputs (clk, reset, ...) get their own input pad.
+  - Other outputs (configDone, ...) get their own bidirectional pad with
+    OE tied high so it acts as a driver.
+
+Power pads are distributed evenly: every side gets POWER_PAD_PER_SIDE
+VDD/VSS pairs, all sharing the chip-level VDD/VSS/DVDD/DVSS rails.
+
+Pads are emitted only as netlist instances. Their physical placement
+around the perimeter is handled later by OpenROAD using -fixed
+setLocation calls, and corner / filler cells are added there too (they
+have no signal connections so they don't need to live in the netlist).
