Abstract Generator

affaq
affaq over 15 years ago

 Hi,

I am using IC 5.1.41  which uses Abstract generator ver 5.10.41. I am using abstract for the very first time for generating LEF files of my design and read through the documentation several times but I am not getting on to it. I want to run abstract from CIW under the tools menu but its not desplying while it runs independently but thats too difficult for me to get results in alotted time.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Affaq

    I would suggest that you go through the short tutorial located at:

    $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/samples/tutorials/abstract

    It can be completed in about 30mins. The tutorial manual is located at $CDSHOME/doc/abstract.pdf. It will give you a fairly good idea on how to use the abstract generator.

    I don't quite understand the point about being too difficult to get results in the allocated time. Perhaps you would like to elaborate more on this so that we can understand the the actual problem that you are facing. Do you mean that you have problem starting up the abstract generator from the cmd line or ... ? : )

    Best regards
