@yrrapt Using

KLAYOUT_HOME=$PDK_ROOT/$PDK/libs.tech/klayout  klayout -e

to invoke klayout with sky130 pdk. But only layer nos. are visible on layers pallete and not names. Need to manually import

.lyp

file everytime in order to see layer names inside klayout. Can you suggest solution to this issue.

@vks Just looked at my log messages

File

->`Log Viewer` Every time I opened a gds file I see the message

Initialization of layers failed: Unable to open file: /$HOME/.klayout/tech/sky130/sky130.lyp (errno=2)

Linking the

lyp

file from the pdk to that location seems to work.

mkdir -p $HOME/.klayout/tech/sky130
cd $HOME/.layout/tech/sky130
ln -s $PDK_ROOT/$PDK/libs.tech/klayout/tech/sky130A.lyp sky130.lyp

You can also call klayout with -l option and pass it the direct path to the lyp file.
