ok, here is my latest attempt to get the pdk installed so I can simulate caravel: https://gist.github.com/mattvenn/242e9e72d6ede03a735ad61db4ca3cc9

I built it using the

make build-pdk

target instead which is s almost the same as your gist, maybe try that instead? https://github.com/efabless/openlane/blob/0fec8c8fb2382d3d487127face5109ec7d2baa51/Makefile#L80

I can still run openlane and get results, I just can't get any of the simulations in caravel to work

I don't remember those exact errors in the gist, I'll see what I've got

me too

line 20568 of that file is different in my libraries, looks like autogen file so source input is probably from a different commit?

could you search for that string - pwrgood_pp and see if you have the $PG at the end?

sure does

ok dang it

@Matt Venn: If you're trying to use openlane:rc4, then I should probably tell you that it's not completely compatible with caravel. You'll need to handle the pdk installation outside of the openlane Makefile. Or else use the

develop

branch which is still under

develop

ment.

I'm on master for caravel, skywater and open_pdk now

@Matt Venn: you can switch to openlane:develop and use this script: https://github.com/efabless/openlane/blob/develop/travisCI/travisBuild.sh it will rule out any magic version issues you might have.

thanks
