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

  • I really wouldn't recommend that as an approach. First of all, it would require you to reverse engineer a private format which is liable to change (and particularly be extended) from release to release - in fact it can be extended even in hotfixes.

    In addition it would be a reasonable amount of work to do this.

    Better to put the request into Cadence and increase the likelihood of it being done sooner rather than later - the pieces are close to being there. Otherwise you'd create yourself a maintenance headache, and a high chance you might miss something important.

    In the meantime it would be better to save an OCEAN script from ADE and use that.
