FreePDK45.lyp is converted automatically from the .tf using:
https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/tf_import
Command line:
klayout -z -rd tf_file=FreePDK45.tf -rd lyp_file=FreePDK45.lyp
You can then view layouts with:
klayout file.gds -l mosis.lyp

glade_freepdk45.py is a script for Glade:
https://peardrop.co.uk/
to load the .tf using:
glade -script ~/openram/technology/freepdk45/tf/glade_freepdk45.py -gds file.gds
