Default configuration is only using compress gds #28

file tech/sky130A.lvs_config.sh looks only for compressed gds, which is not necessarily the case with all projects, some might not be compressed.

Good point. What if both the compressed file and uncompressed file exist and are different? Do we want to require the user to be explicit?

marwaneltoukhy commented 1 year ago

Precheck already breaks if that's the case, I think LVS should break as well

@marwaneltoukhy Sorry for the delayed response. The gds file in the lvs_config.json file is what is used be default. The user can set that to compressed or uncompressed. This value is overridable though, for example

$LVS_ROOT/run_be_checks lvs/user_project_wrapper/lvs_config.json user_project_wrapper user_project_wrapper gds/user_project_wrapper.gds

The first positional parameter after the lvs_config file is the source top level override, the second is the layout top level override, and the third is the gds override.
