I am getting DRC violations in FEOL check. Can someone guide me how to remove them?

Open the files on the open galaxy desktop in Klayout and DRC

<@U021H2WFR7A> What error? Is it related to nsdm/psdm?

klayout_feol_check.xml

Unfortunately i don't know how to read the generated logs but here is the log file.

Looks like it might be in the sram module. Can you open the gds in klayout and read the drc log file? I think its Tools -&gt; Marker Browser

I am getting `XML parser error: Expected '/' here: |(22.19,35 .. in line 444, column 85` error when opening _klayout_feol_check.xml_ in klayout.

Just run the DRC again. Tools &gt; DRC &gt; sky130 DRC script

Are the prechecks running in github actions different? Because the FEOL check is passing in Github Actions and failing in my local computer

Yes you can ignore the github action outcomes

This is the result of opening the log in klayout;

You can highlight the errors to see where they are

Also from what i've heard, they are some psdm/nsdm errors that get waived due to something wrong with the way SRAM is generated, but yours may be fixable

The error loading the file may be due to an out of date klayout. What version are you on?

Upgrading to 0.27.* will eliminate the parser error `XML parser error: Expected '/' here: |(22.19,35 .. in line 444, column 85`.

<@U021H2WFR7A> those errors are in the SRAM cell.  they are waived for the tapeout.  you need to update your precheck to mpw-5c and then rerun.  the current precheck excludes those errors in for the SRAM macros.

go to your precheck directory and run `git checkout mpw-5c`.  then `git pull`.  go back to your project and run `make run-precheck`

you can also just skip the above and create your project on the Efabless site and then submit a precheck job.  don’t forget to submit a tapeout job once it finishes.

Thank you <@U017X0NM2E7> and <@U016HSAA3RQ>
