How to generate a behavioral view from schematic using the SKILL?

Hi Eric

Do you mean PSPICE programming with PSPICE A/D edition?

 I guess you have to write it as a text file with SKILL file
IO commands in your library/cellview directory, because either
Verilog or VHDL HDL is a stored as text.
And then run in a post step 'vmsUpdateCellViews'.

Not exactly.  I'm looking into ways to convert the memory blocks into simple behavioral models which will significantly improve out full-chip verilog / functional sims.  The model iteself is pretty easy to write, but to get all the ports and address correctly translated into the behavioral view is very tedious and error-prone. 

thanks.

Hi Bend,

Thanks for your comment.  It sounds pretty difficult to do.  Do you happen to have some sample code that I can start with?  I'm just a beginner with the SKILL language.

 thanks,

 Hi Eric,

I think that you want a way to run something like the Design -> Create Cellview -> From Cellview, unless I am mistaken, with the schematic (or symbol) as the source, and a Verilog-based view type as the output result.

I think the function is schViewToView() but I will need to look for an example to help you as I'm not too sure how user-friendly the function is.

In the meantime, can you take a look at the above menu say whether it looks like what you want or not?

 Hi Eric,

 I have tried an example of the schViewToView() function, here is what I tried:

schViewToView("testLib" "nor2Ana" "testLib" "nor2Ana" "symbol" "behavioral" "schSymbolToPinList" "schPinListToVerilog")

The key is that the fromFunc and the toFunc need to be found for the views that you are working with.  If you use the schematic as your source, then the fromFunc would be schSchemToPinList instead.

I hope that this answers your question and provides a solution.

Regards,

Lawrence.
