@yrrapt I've made some progress on setting up a basic example repository, but I've been unable to get the tool working thus far. In particular, I'm stuck on how to properly build and import the pybag submodule. Have you had success with the development branch of BAG3? My day job requires Cadence tools (TSMC 28 nm), but on the side I'm very interested in helping with the development efforts to port the tool to open source alternatives. Is there a place where these porting discussions are taking place?

@Kennedy Caisley Do you mean migrating the existing designs from Commercial tools to Open source tools or migrate the usage of bag3 to OpenSource? If you mean the first one, I don't believe that there is a solution for that right now. We at Mabrains are working on such tool and not just that we are building an integration flows that would make it easy for people like you easy to migrate from commercial to open source. We want the communities support to continue adding value. Check our repos at github: https://github.com/mabrains
BTW, I have built a tool in my previous commercial life that migrates designs from one company to another without mentioning names here. I'm pretty familiar with all the details on how to make successful migration.

I'm interested in the latter of the two; i.e. configuring bag3 to work with open source layout, schematic capture, and simulation packages. Thank you for sharing your work, though; process portabililty is a really tricky challenge, and it'd be cool to see somebody do it well.

@Kennedy Caisley Just to clarify this is not migrating designs from one technology node to another. This migrating designs from one design environment to another on the process.
