how to load ADE state in skill?

LarissaN

Hello

I need to create a netlist for a testbench cellview, in batch mode.

Basically I want to have in the skill script smthing like:

mysession = asiCreateSession(?simulator "spectre" ?lib LIB ?cell CELL ?view VIEW ?mode 'r')
asiLoadState(mysession ?name "spectre_state1" ?option 'cellview ?lib LIB ?cell CELL)
asiGenerateNetlist(mysession)

But asiLoadState returns nil with warning:
"WARNING (ADE-5046): There is no ADE window attached with the specified session" 
This is fine; I dont need ADE graphics. But is it a cause of the unsuccessful load?

OCEAN would work for us also, but as I understand it cannot load ADE state either...?

Thanks
Larissa

  • Larissa,

    There really isn't a way to do this, hence the enhancement request. Hacking together some private SKILL functions would mean that it's potentially possible, but I have not tried (and if I did get it working, I wouldn't be able to share it).

    Getting the sev session from the OASIS (asI) session isn't really possible either (I believe) . The only way you can really do it (with public functions) is something like this:

    procedure(CCSfindSevSessionFromAsiSession(asiSessionId)
      car(exists(sevId mapcar('sevSession hiGetWindowList()) sevId && sevEnvironment(sevId)==asiSessionId))
    )

    But this won't work unless there's a sev session associated with the asi session in the first place.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
