Translating IC6 libaries to IC5

gparasiliti

Hi,

Is there a way to downgrade an IC6 library to IC5? I know it's strange buit in some case it should be the best way to reuse some IP.

Regards,

Giuseppe

    Giuseppe,

    I believe oa2cdb requires a lib.def file not a cds.lib file. So here's what I did to make this work:

    # starting in my existing directory that contains OA libraries
    mkdir CDB
    cdsLibEditor -batchWriteLibdefs lib.defs
    cd CDB
    oa2cdb -cdslibpath ../lib.defs -lib mylib

    The cdsLibEditor has a batch mode to convert a cds.lib into the standard OA lib.defs format (similar to cds.lib, but only supports a subset of the syntax).

    Regards,

    Andrew
