Hi Everyone, I'm trying to set up a replicable development environment using docker and foss-asic-tools from efabless, has anyone had problems using this tool?

The foss-asic-tools repository is Mohamed Kassem's idea, so probably best to ask him about it if you have questions.

Thanks so much Tim :), I just found the #containers channel so I'll check that out and then ask.

hi @User Good day! - could you elaborate what you are trying to do?

Hi @User, I am trying to define a replicable analog development environment for a group of students and have found efabless/foss-asic-tools and a fork called hpretl/iic-osic-tools.
Is there any difference in terms of package updating, maintainance, things like that? Is there another analog design alternative?
Thank you very much for your willingness to help ๐Ÿ™‚
Now have found Revolution EDA. Is it suitable for analog development?
m
you can use either - although I have to say Rev EDA is really nice from the way it looks - I havent tried it myself though

@User our Docker works quite nice by now, it has all the features of the efablessโ€™ original, plus a few useful extensions. See also this announcement https://skywater-pdk.slack.com/archives/C0221Q4PYJ0/p1652178201049599

The scripts are simple but effective, just what I wanted for my development team. The container is already running on our server :) Thanks for doing the dirty work, @User @User @User

Hello, I want to start with the analog design flow using sky130.. I see that there are many libraries in the pdk.. What all libraries among them will be useful to excercise the sky130 flow?
t
For an analog flow, the main library of concern is the one with all the devices and models in it, which is
sky130_fd_pr
(pr = "primitives").
