We will install the SkyWater 130nm design kit via the Open_PDKs scripts. This allows us to install (1) the Google/SkyWater SKY130 PDK from github and compile the timing files, (2) 3rd-party alphanumeric layout libraries, and (3) 3rd-party libraries for the xschem schematic entry and schematic capture tool.

Prerequisites

For installing the files needed by the Magic layout tool, Magic must be installed. Download Magic here and follow the compile and install instructions
