I am not able to see a
final/verilog/gl
directory which has a GL netlist. I want to ignore these DRCs and run simulation on the GL. Is it possible?
v
@User I also had such magic drc violations for some mpw designs with mpw-5c tag. Try with latest openlane tag, may resolve this issue, has magic version also got updated now.
h
The drc violations are acceptable when designs have openram srams. The point is that the flow should still create a powered gate level netlist.
v
can you share your

I am not able to see a final/verilog/gl directory which has a GL netlist.
