Query regarding Qflow #411

Hi, Can we install skywater130nm pdk in the open source tool Qflow?

open_pdks does install .sh and .par files for each of the sky130 digital standard cell libraries. I know that qflow (or rather, specifically qrouter) does not work well at all with the high-density standard cell sets. You might want to try with the OSU standard cell sets, which are generally easier to route. I have not done much testing of qflow with sky130.
