Can we run tapeout check locally? If not, where can I find logs about the result on efabless website? I got a bunch of FOM violations in the tapeout check.... It will be great if I can run the check locally and see where the problem is.

Yes, you can run the tape-out check locally. To Run pre-check locally you can type: make run-precheck

Thanks Dinesh. Mpw -precheck and tapeout check are not the same thing I think? Because I didn’t get any errors from precheck….. the error occurred when I submitted for tape out on efabless website…

In MPW-2 Shuttle Time: local pre-check and efabless website Tape-out check result were same. In MPW-3, I seen some difference Magic DRC result between and Local pre-check and efabless website tape-out checks .. I have raised the issue with Efabless team. They are yet to fix differences.

I don't know what kind of checks one needs to do before final submission in MPW-2, because in MPW-3, the precheck and tape-out check are separated , I need to create 2 different jobs on efabless website for precheck and tape-out check separately... Something like this: and as you can see the precheck is succeeded and the tape-out is failing.
@User Can I do tape-out check locally?
t
Yes; there is a local precheck. I'm not familiar with the details of how to run it, though. I thought it was just something like "make precheck".

Are you talking about make run-precheck? That is for precheck but for tape-out..... like on this page, I passed the precheck but failed the tape-out check. I want to do tape-out check locally or whatever it is called, is that possible?
t
I thought the DRC is run as part of pre-check, but then I'm not so familiar with how they did the split between pre-check and tape-out. What does the log file say about the failure?

I think I have found the way to do this locally.
