Command for re-creating netlist

itos

Hi,


I am using Virtuoso, ADE L and and AMS together with the Simulink coupler. The coupler runs on a different computer and I execute the following command remotely to start the simulations (taken from the Simulink coupler tutorial):

echo "Matlab Current directory path is:"
pwd
setenv RUN_DIR /home/me/test/simulation/top/ams/config/netlist
cd $RUN_DIR
echo "irun will start, from this directory:"
pwd
echo "We launch runSimulation"
./runSimulation

However, it seems that this does not re-generate the netlist. Even worse, it does not throw an error (as ADE L does) when I change something but did not hit "Save & Check" or did not re-create the netlist.

What is the command to add before to recreate the netlist?

Also, based on which parameters would that happen? All settings (like design variables etc.) are stored in a certain cellview state.

Thanks!

  • Hi Andrew,Thanks! This seems to go to the right direction. May I add some more questions related?

    Although ocean does not seem to show any X windows (when I start it with an X window running) and everything is output in command line I get the following error when I run ocean:

    $ ocean -restore oceanScript.ocn
    *WARNING* file /home/my/CDS.log File is already locked by some other proce
    ss.
    *WARNING* X Window Display Initialization failure
    *WARNING* (DISPLAY "localhost:11.0")

    which makes it a bit impractical for calling it remotely. Is there a way to disable X11 or so?

    Also, I created the script from ADE via Session -> Save Ocean Script.

    Do I understand correctly that I (only) would need to redo this if I change settings within the ADE window (like Analyses, Design Variables etc)? But when I change the schematics, including CDF parameters etc (and use "Check and Save") it will be accounted for? I see the script contains ocnAmsSetOSSNetlister() and run() would build the netlist and then start the simulator?

    Thanks again!
