VCAR - Routing Specified Nets

sPoK
sPoK over 13 years ago

I've read the iccraft documentation but there is no info how to export selected nets from layout to a netlist file requested by VCAR.

There is only this note:

Note: Virtuoso Chip Assembly Router does not support extracting netlists from schematics, CDL, or HSpice. Use Virtuoso XL to ensure the layout netlist is populated. 

So, how to do this, please?

I'm using 6.1.5 version.

 

Thanks

    Finally I got it!
    Bussed net name in nets.txt file must be in the following format:
    bus_net[0]
    bus_net[1]
    .
    .
    bus_net[31]

    instead of:
    bus_net<0>
    bus_net<1>
    .
    .
    bus_net<31>

    and every bit of a bus must be stated.

    Thanks for the hint Andrew.
