Corrected a handful of errors mentioned by Mitch Bailey in these
issues on the github issue tracker:  #329---The definition
parsing in the magic techfile needs proper handling to prevent
instances of the definitions from being overwritten with "1"
where they were intended to be quoted verbatim.  #330---Several
DRC rules were made incorrect after splitting out the MOScap as
a separate device.  #331---The antenna cell in the standard
cell libraries is missing parameter names for area and perimeter
on the diode device.

Open-PDKs (open_pdks)

Summary:

Automatic setup of PDKs for open-source tools from foundry sources.

Builds out and populates a new set of directories and subdirectories in the efabless format, with the efabless name for the PDK at the top, followed by categories “libs.ref” (IP) and “libs.tech” (EDA tool setup), each with subcategories corresponding to layout, abstract views, netlists, etc. for the IP; and magic, netgen, qflow, etc., for the EDA tool setup.

The populated PDK directories can contain either copies of files from the foundry sources, links to the foundry sources, or links back to another PDK.

Generates magic layout views for all vendor IP for which either a GDS view or a LEF view exists. Annotates the views as needed to handle ports, bounding boxes, etc.


This distribution contains sources for building out the SkyWater SKY130 130nm process. Sources for the foundry process data must be obtained separately. Read the README file in subdirectory sky130/ for instructions on obtaining and building the SkyWater sky130A PDK.

Open_PDKs is open-source software distributed under the Apache-2.0 license. See file LICENSE for the complete license text.


Instructions:

git clone https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/open_pdks.git
cd open_pdks
./configure [options]
make
[sudo] make install

where the configure [options] are specific to each foundry PDK supported by open_pdks and can be queried using

./configure --help

At a minimum you will want to pass a configure option to declare the location of the PDK vendor source distribution (which can be obtained separately),

./configure --enable-[PDK_name]-pdk=[path]

The open_pdks version of the PDK can be built locally within open_pdks without the need to declare an install target or run “make install”. However, it is recommended to declare a target location and install there, using

./configure --prefix=[path] --enable-[PDK_name]-pdk=[path]

followed by “make” and “make install”.

Also see the website at http://opencircuitdesign.com/open_pdks/. The “Install” page has full instructions for configuring and installing open_pdks.
