 hi,

   these days, i'm writing the ocean script and i have a problem to add the verilog-a to the swith view list, can you help me

  •  envOption('switchViewList '("veriloga" "spectre" "cmos_sch" "cmos.sch" "schematic")

    You can also set 'stopViewList this way. Note that switchViewList would normally contain veriloga by default, but it's at the end usually.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • This is an environment variable and can be sent in the .cdsenv file
    like:
    spectre.envOpts    switchViewList    string    "spectre cmos.sch schematic veriloga"
    spectre.envOpts    stopViewList    string    "spectre symbol"

    or with skill
    envSetVal(
    t_tool[.Partition]
    t_varName
    s_varType
    g_newVal
     )

    I don't know if this works embedded in your OCEAN script.

  •  An other way which would in my optinion be good for OCEAN

    could be the "asi" commands

     

    asiSetEnvOptionVal( asiGetCurrentSession( ) 'switchViewList '("spectre" "schematic" "veriloga") )

  • Hi Bernd,

    Or you could use the envOption function (which is an OCEAN function) that I mentioned earlier (our replies crossed in the post) ;-)

  •  Hi Andrew,

         thanks, i think you're right, but in my session the "verilog-a" is not included in the swith view list by default, how to change the default view list ?

  •  Hi Bernd,

        thanks for replying!

  • Hi Zfeng,

    If the view is called "verilog-a" (with a dash) then it wouldn't be in the list. You could add an entry in your ~/.cdsenv file with the default you want - I can't check the exact syntax because I'm now not online - Bernd may have mentioned it earlier.

    Or you could just call envOption in your script, as I suggested.

  • Hi,

     i have added this line " envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "switchViewList" 'string "spectre cmos.sch schematic veriloga") " in my .cdsinit (in my work directory), but it seems that the default value doesn't be changed at all. I think the syntax is ok, did i put it in a wrong place? as somebody says, the cdsenv file will be overwriten by the.cdsinit, so i did not put this command in .cdsenv file. welcome to any reply,thanks

    Regards,

    zfeng

  • Zfeng,

    This would have given a message in the CIW (assuming you've not filtered away the warnings):

    *WARNING* envSetVal: Can't set the value of variable 'switchViewList',
            in tool[.partition] 'asimenv.startup' - it has not been registered.

    That's because it's incorrect. The first argument to the envSetVal() should have been "spectre.envOpts" not "asimenv.startup". The switchViewList is simulator specific.

    Always a good idea to check any warnings you get...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     

  • Hi,
       yes, you're always rigth. i have changed the command and typed it in CIW, it worked well, but when i exit the cadence, and login again, the added "veriloga" disappeared again, so I think i did not change the default configure, so what do you think about this problem,

    Regards,
    zfeng
