07/09/2021, 3:49 AMTo get layers, copy the .lyp and .lyt to ~/.klayout/tech. These are in ~/open_pdks/sky130/klayout/
To run DRC:
mkdir -p ~/.klayout/drc && cp ~/open_pdks/sky130/klayout/sky130.lydrc ~/.klayout/drc
klayout -e file.gds
Tools -> DRC -> sky130.lydrc
View them by type or cell (you'll get a lot of errors due to the bitcells)
It's multithreaded so it's pretty fast. It does well with basic metal and device rules
