QRC + command file

Slawa
Slawa over 15 years ago

Good afternoon dear colleagues.
I had a following problem.
I have started to master QRC but I can not adjust command file in any way. In particular I can not understand with -technology_library_file and -technology_name. Constantly writes "Could not map technology name "LALA" to a path using "/./XXX"Check spelling to insure the name is correct."   I have created a separate folder "techgen" in which have made simulation Techgen -si and Techgen -compilation. In it has put ict, proc, p2lvs, lvsrule, and qrcTechFile. And here to start QRC does not leave. What it is necessary to enter in a  -technology_name and -technology_library_file ? Very much I count on your help.

Best regards

    Hi Slawa

    You can resolve the problem as follows:

    a. Create a file named "qrc_tech.lib" in the working directory. It should contain this line:
    DEFINE LALA /your-path/yourTechgenDirectory

    b. In your QRC cmd file, you should have lines similar:

    process_technology \
       -technology_library_file "qrc_tech.lib"
       -technology_name "LALA"
    ...


    QRC will first look for the library definition file "qrc_tech.lib". If found, it will search for a library definition named "LALA". This should point to a directory which contains the file named "qrcTechFile". The library definition file does not really have to be named as "qrc_tech.lib". It can be any other filename.

    Best regards
