@User: You can run your local magic install with

-rcfile

to point at the

.magicrc

file associated with the technology. For example, EDITED (if you have followed the instructions on the README, the rcfile should be there):

magic -rcfile /path/to/openlane_working_dir/pdks/open_pdks/sky130/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/20200508/sky130A.magicrc spm.gds

After completion of flow.tcl without any errors, ran the magic -rcfile which returned empty gds. How can figure out what went wrong. Below is the snapshot

@ArunAshok: The GDS file should be placed under

designs/spm/runs/<tag>/results/magic

; can you confirm that there is a GDS file there?

Let me look

You would need to point at it in your command: e.g.,

magic -rcfile /path/to/openlane_working_dir/pdks/open_pdks/sky130/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/20200508/sky130A.magicrc designs/spm/runs/<tag>/results/magic/spm.gds

I ran this magic -rcfile /path/to/openlane_working_dir/pdks/open_pdks/sky130/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/20200508/sky130A.magicrc spm.gds

Since it says technology "minimum", it didn't load the right "sky130A" tech file. Are you pointing at the .magicrc file correctly?

frankly i dont know. I am newbie and I am just following the instructions. How can I make sure the correct .magicrc file ?

What's the full command you're using to look at the GDS?

hey, i got it right now. Basically my paths were wrong and went to full confusion after that. Magic is showing something now 🙂 i will continue. I really respect your patience !!
