==create Netlist fail for modified av Extracted view==

tomchen

Hi 

back ground:

for some reason , I need to change parameter of a device that on av Extracted view that QRC generated.

but it fails when I use modified av Extract View to create netlist.

And then I use dbSetConnCurrent(geGetEditCellView()) function to fix av Extracted view(open av Extracted and then execute this command).

I can use ADE to  create netlist successfully after I use this command .

But  when I revoke virtuoso, it will fail if I use ADE to create netlist again for av Extracted view . I need to use  dbSetConnCurrent(geGetEditCellView()) again before I create netlist.

is any skill function that can let ADE created netlist successfully for modified av Extracted view even if I revoke virtuoso??

  • Hi tomchen

    The correct method is to use a callProc.il file as follows:

    a. Create a file named "callProc.il" in the Quantus technology directory with the following lines:

    procedure( avExtractedCellViewCallProc(cv)   let( (dev)
          printf("Modifying device parameter\n")
          dev=setof(x cv~>instances x~>cellName=="yourTargetCellName")
          dev~>yourParam=123
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure

    b. Please replace "yourTargetCellName", "yourParam" and "123" with the actual values

    c. callProc.il will be automatically used by Quantus when generating extracted view

  • I'd also recommend Quek's suggestion, but what you're doing also ought to work - maybe you're just not saving the extracted view after marking the connectivity up to date?

    Regards,
