Importing multiple gds

Hi All,

I wanted to import multiple gds files at a time . I was searching for a SKILL command for same and could find only absImportGDS. Is there any way around to do import multiple gds files at a time, if i have "library name" "cell name" "technology" and "gds path" ?

Regards

Neeraj

By the way, in IC616 the File->Import->Stream file allows you to give the "Stream File" field as multiple files (comma separated). So maybe you don't need SKILL at all...

Hi Andrew,

I am using cadence 6.1.5 version.

Actually my gds are sitting in different folders and i am not sure comma separated will help me much. have to change library name around multiple times so that respective cells sits in there respective library.

IC615 doesn't support multiple input files in one shot anyway, so you'll need to use SKILL.
You'll need xstInDoTranslate(), preceeded by calls to xstInSetField to fill in relevant information. The functions are covered in cdnshelp (just search for them).

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
How can set wait for the function "xstInDoTranslate". Basically my requirement is that I need to some post processing of the generated view therefore I need to wait in programm for successfull completetion of this run. Is there something ;ike wait function. I tried with ipcBeginProcess but did not work.

Thanks,
Shrikant

Hi Shrikant,
If you define a SKILL function called xstInOnCompletion, it will be called when the streamIn completes.
Alternatively, if you ask stream in to stream into virtual memory, then xstInDoTranslate becomes blocking (see the documentation). For example:
xstInSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
; set other fields as necessary
xstInDoTranslate() ; now will wait until the stream in was completed
