Hello all, I updated (or tried to) the tools and the open_pdks local installations and I'm having the following issue: I copy the

sky130.magicrc

file into my home directory and then try running magic, but the right bar is not loaded and I get the following errors: Could not find file 'STAGING_PATH/TECHNAME/MAGIC_CURRENT/TECHNAME-F.tech' in any of these directories: . $CAD_ROOT/magic/sys $CAD_ROOT/magic/sys/current Could not find file 'STAGING_PATH/TECHNAME/MAGIC_CURRENT/TECHNAME.tech' in any of these directories: . $CAD_ROOT/magic/sys $CAD_ROOT/magic/sys/current Error parsing user ".magicrc": couldn't read file "STAGING_PATH/TECHNAME/MAGIC_CURRENT/TECHNAME.tcl": no such file or directory any ideas what could be wrong?

you are not supposed to copy the magicrc file, just pass it to magic as an argument of --rcfile or something like that

Hello @Arman Avetisyan, i tried this too but get the same result

Is magic installed correctly?

This problem was reported elsewhere recently; I don't recall where.

sky130.magicrc

is a template, not a tech file. It is run through a preprocessor to get

sky130A.magicrc

and

sky130B.magicrc

, which are the setup scripts for the two technology variants. They all assume an open_pdks installation and the presence of the directory structure

$PDK_ROOT/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/

(or

sky130B

), containing at least the files

sky130A.tech

and

sky130A.magicrc

.

hello @Tim Edwards, I'm not sure if I understand well Is this a current issue in the open_pdks installation? Or am I doing something wrong and I need to run manually the sky130A.magicrc file to generate the correct files? I would really appreciate your help, I'm stuck here

This is nothing new; open_pdks has always had template files which are filtered through a preprocessor to generate the files for specific variants of the PDKs. I do not know what you are doing with open_pdks, but it should be a matter of following the instructions for

configure

(with options),

make

, and

(sudo) make install

.
