I've made that change to the config, and re-hardened the macro

I now have nothing on metal5

but I have contents in the magic_ext2spice.feedback.txt file: feedback add "Illegal overlap (types do not connect)" medium

18000 of them

I have about 1000

illegal overlap

. By grouping them (merging adjacent boxes), I have about 55 larger boxes. Most of them appear on a metal 5 strips in macros that are merged with the top-level strips. The others appear in macro that don't use metal 5 (checked with grep). TL;DR I think my project is OK wrt this issue. But that's only manual inspection.

All designs updated and ready? Can we get a status update @User?

@User all projects on the shuttle are clean. we are just revising final fill to meet specs for the shuttle.

🙌

Feel free to post a pic of the final combined masks 🙂

talking of pictures, does anyone have a preferred method to export high resolution images from klayout or magic for printing?

colours of masks, which ones to ignore, that kind of thing?

I definitely want to print out my first chip's mask and frame it!

I usualy just leave the metal layers on and nothing else ...

poly alone can also look nice is you have the resolution.

I haven't yet found a way to export high res images from klayout

just tested this: https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/16/output-a-large-image-file

it works

but instead of tools->rba console, you do macros->macro development

just exported 10k x 10k pixel png

@User: You can use OpenLane to do that, starting rc7 (going to the v0.x). You can run it interactively:

./flow.tcl -it
package require openlane
set ::env(TAKE_LAYOUT_SCROT) 1
set ::env(KLAYOUT_TECH) <point to the .lyt file in the open_pdks/sky130/klayout directory or the sky130A/libs.tech/klayout>
set ::env(klayout_log_file_tag) <where to print the logs>
set ::env(TERMINAL_OUTPUT) /dev/null
scrot_klayout -layout <point to your layout>

You can control the width and height of the image by changing these values: https://github.com/efabless/openlane/blob/b5b0cc5542a2f4cfcc2656823da89b857d35c9ae/scripts/klayout/scrotLayout.py#L19 https://github.com/efabless/openlane/blob/b5b0cc5542a2f4cfcc2656823da89b857d35c9ae/scripts/klayout/scrotLayout.py#L20 They are not exposed as configuration variables at the moment.

magic has the best PNG output. . . nearly photographic.
