PVS rule file syntax check

Suryansh Singh

Hello Cadence team,

I have been using cadence PVS for some time and I have noticed that PVS has the ability to show syntactical errors in the rules files. Basically, we get a red box around the rule section in Techc&Rules tab. I am looking if this is also available as a separate checker? Such that I can use it without having to invoke PVS.

Regards

    Hi Suryansh, I've moved your question to the Custom IC design forum, as PVS fits into there better than the functional verification one (I know, it's not always obvious).

    Thanks Steve for moving this into the right forum.

    If you run:

    pvs -drc -get_rules rules.txt YourRuleFile.rul > pvs.log

    Then this will just run the check on the rule file without running a DRC or without running the UI.

    Andrew.
