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

    The gds layer map file should be automatically generated during the Calibre query step and not manually created. The actual Calibre lvs database cannot be used directly by QRC. An additional "query" step has to be performed. Here is an example of its contents:

    Gds_Map 1000
    Layers:
    0 0 31 Oct  1 14:24:51 2007
    DNW 1 0
    nw_dnw 2 0
    ...

    The "library_cell_list_file" is needed when you are generated dspf or spef output. Otherwise, it is not required. "design_cell_name" is only needed if you are generated extracted view output. Otherwise, it is not needed. It is also not required to specify the hierarchy delimiter is the default value of "/" is fine.

    You do not to have "technology_layer_map" section if you are using Calibre input. It is only for LEF/DEF inputs.

    Best regards
