Non-volatile files in Cadence

itos

Hi,

 I want to use Subversion (Revision Control System) with Cadence, in particular for analog design (ADE).

Which files should I check in (i.e., which files contain data and not temporary/volatile stuff) and which are temporary?

For me, there is an "opus" directory and a "simulation" directory.

Do I assume correctly that simulation directory contains only sim results and is hence not to be checked in?

Inside opus, what about the ".cadence" directory? What about the state directories and files? 

Thanks!

PS: I do not want to use any other RCS or "complicated" plugins/interfaces.

  • Really you should use a proper DM integration rather than trying to manage files yourself. The Cadence database used in the IC tools typically have multiple files per cellView, and these are designed to be "co-managed" - i.e. managed as a single entity rather than individual files being managed. There are a number of different DM integrations from connection partners. In no particular order, there's DesignSync from Dassault MatrixOne, SOS from ClioSoft, IC Manage, MethodICs EDA VersIC and IBM ClearCase. MethodICs VersIC can use subversion as its underlying revision control mechanism.

    In general you would not manage simulation directories or results because these can be recreated  and are thus "derived" data. Normally you'd manage the input data - your schematics, layouts, symbols and ADE setup data (i.e. ADE state cellViews).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
