Hi all, could anyone tell if there is any latest version of drc script for sky130 that could work with klayout ??

All of the latest DRC decks for klayout that we have are in the github/efabless sky130_klayout_pdk repository, and are installed into the PDK by open_pdks.

How can decks in `sky130_klayout_pdk` be used to run DRC on GDS for viewing results in Klayout ?

`github/efabless sky130_klayout_pdk` repository leads to
<https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck/blob/main/checks/tech-files/sky130A_mr.drc>
From here it is not clear how to run DRC for klayout.

Thanks a lot <@U016EM8L91B>  your reply!! I find that there is a minimum rule deck and a complete rule deck installed within the pdk

Hey <@U01TK0ML9H9> you can have a look at this page <https://gitlab.com/mosaic_group/mosaic_BAG/opensource_db_template|https://gitlab.com/mosaic_group/mosaic_BAG/opensource_db_template> This is documentation to run the Berekely Analog Generator with open source tool. We have some tips on how to use data within pdk to view gds

<@U01TK0ML9H9>:  Another good place to go to ask questions about the use of klayout is the <#C01DH7SPX41|klayout> channel.

<@U03Q07SJYF5> Could not find how to run DRC in klayout using sky130 rule deck. Can you please help how to run that and check drc errors in klayout ?

<@U01TK0ML9H9> So after setting up pdk  based on information in that link, select tools drc and select the one ending with sky130A.lydrc

Note: Please perform 'PDK setup' and 'Klayout PDK setup'(from the link) before following the above steps
