yes its normal installation time

how much time it will take ??

Normally 30 - 40Mins it will take

okay thanks

Are you running

make pdk

command right?

Depends on the number of cores, apparently, it is multi-threaded. On my last update, I realized it is now building

sky130A

and

sky130B

which then also doubles the time. Agree, that a speedup would be highly welcome. Maybe @User has an idea.

@User: If you let open_pdks pull and build skywater-pdk, then most of the time is taken up by "make timing" in the skywater-pdk repo, which last I checked was not multithreaded, but that could just be because the file

/sky130/custom/scripts/pdk_download.sh

in open_pdks should have the last line as

make -j$(nproc) timing

instead of just

make timing

.

@User would be cool if you could change this in the makefile.

It will go in the next commit.

👍

@User did you commit the specified changes? It is taking very long time..
