Hi, this is how the layout for my design appears after the routing stage?(in the Attachment) I couldn't find any layers, and the technology is displayed at the top as 'minimum.' Does this indicate that Sky130 is not properly integrated with the design? Also including the command that I have used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. magic -T /home/pa1mantri/.volare/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/sky130A.tech read ../../tmp/merged.nom.lef vsdmemsoc.def &

try

magic -rcfile $PDK_ROOT/$PDK/libs.tech/magic/$PDK.magicrc ../../tmp/merged.nom.lef vsdmemsoc.def &

tried with the above command.

What messages show up in your console log? Do you get a layer menu if you start with no file?

magic -rcfile $PDK_ROOT/$PDK/libs.tech/magic/$PDK.magicrc

There seems to be a problem reading the tech file, even though their location seems to be correct. I am attaching the console log file and the PDK location. Also, there is no layer menu when I start with no file.

echo $PWD
echo $PDK_ROOT
echo $PDK

You probably don’t have

PDK_ROOT

set.

the PDK_ROOT was not set. When i tried to use the export command this is what it shows

no spaces before or after

=

.

export PDK_ROOT=/home/pa1mantri/.volare
export PDK=sky130A

exported the PDK_ROOT. Now it is showing a different error regarding magic version. Layers menu did not appear even with no file.

Your magic version is very out-of-date and won’t work with the current technology file. Do you have someone that can install the latest version of magic?

https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/magic can i follow the steps by cloning this repo.

yes. Just set your installation directory with the

--prefix

option. For example, if

which magic

returns

/usr/local/bin/magic

, after cloning the magic repo

cd magic
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

You can then run

magic -dnull -noc --version

to check the version.

when I try to run the make install command, there is an error(permission denied). I used sudo make install installation happened, but magic version remains the same. Does using sudo command prevents the installation in the required prefix destination used earlier.
