#86 Changes to configure script not reflected in documentation Issue opened by JGrycel Hi, I'm pretty new to the open EDA community, so let me know if there's a better channel for questions like these. I like OpenLANE's use of open_pdks for the distribution of Sky130, but I've been more successful having my designs build with OpenROAD. So my goal was to use open_pdks standalone to have an up-to-date distribution of Sky130 for use in OpenROAD. It looks like in commit 8292c90 the
--with-sky130-source
option was removed from the config script, but the documentation in both the readme and on Open PDKs still says to use that option for building. Is the correct new way to specify the location of skywater-pdk to use the
-enable-sky130-pdk
option? I know about the
SKYWATER_PATH
variable, but I'm curious about the config script options. And on a more general level, I'm confused why OpenLANE and OpenROAD are two distinct projects. They seem very similar and differ only in their specific usage of OpenROAD placement, TritonRoute, and PDK distribution. If there's a place where I can learn more about the differences and purposes of each flow that would be helpful. RTimothyEdwards/open_pdks
