Hey folks, how do I load the magic sky130 pcell generator? I'm running a clean install of sky130 (I know of the docker, but I want to try to create a working OS RF design environment) and the sky130A.tcl doesn't load

You're running magic with the

-rcfile

option?

That was it... i forgot the -rcfile while loading magic. Is there a way to make this option standard?

I put an alias in my login file.

alias magicsky 'magic -d OGL -rcfile /usr/share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/sky130A.magicrc'

Clever hehe Thanks again!

You can also copy the

sky130A.magicrc

file to the directory where you are doing layout and rename it to

.magicrc

, or create a symbolic link of that name back to the PDK. Any of those methods will work.
