In what directory do I configure these files. And what is the command>

The

config.json

or

config.tcl

file contains the

EXTRA_LEF

definitions. The config file is located in the

openlane/<design>

directory.

Okay so I go into those respective files and put those lines in

Looks like the docker is not connecting to the X11 server. Maybe this will help https://open-source-silicon.slack.com/archives/C016H8WJMBR/p1674507736667549?thread_ts=1674478291.173689&cid=C016H8WJMBR

@Mitch Bailey Regarding my first question of connecting the layouts and abstracts, what exactly do I configure? Do I go find these files and all the lines seen at the bottom of this picture? I am confused... You mention the .json file- I am not trying to modify the .json file. I want to make sure the .LEF and .GDS match with each other.

The

EXTRA_LEFS

and

EXTRA_GDS_FILES

definitions go in the config files. Here’s a

config.tcl

example from one of the caravel macros. https://github.com/efabless/caravel/blob/main/openlane/mgmt_protect/config.tcl

So I am going to put

"EXTRA_LEFS":      "/openlane/pdks/sky130B/libs.ref/sky130_sram_macros/lef/sky130_sram_1kbyte_1rw1r_32x256_8.lef",
"EXTRA_GDS_FILES": "/openlane/pdks/sky130B/libs.ref/sky130_sram_macros/gds/sky130_sram_1kbyte_1rw1r_32x256_8.gds",

in the config.json file that is associated with my design, correct? I notice that I have both config.json and config.tcl file- do I include these files in both the .json and .tcl file? @Mitch Bailey

1. Read all of the tutorials in correct order. It answers these questions 2. Issues with gui is hard to debug but looks like the X11 is not properly configured. The x11 forwarding from docket is kind of hard to do 3. Tcl files has higher priority than json, see documentation regarding desing configuration 4. You make sure that LEF matches GDS depending where they come from. This statement just tells you that there are no checks to make sure that GDS or LEF are matching, it is users/vendors responsibility
