automatic netlist

AMSboston

Hi,

I have an extracted view.

I then go to ADE and netlist. I then save the netlist in a particular directory which is different from the default location.

Assuming I have an open extracted view, is there a way to netlist from the CIW by running a skill script where I would type:

netlistSkill("dir").

The "dir" is where the netlist will be stored.

Any help will help:)

 

Thanks,

Dan.

 

  • Dan,

    The closest is to use OCEAN functions:

    simulator('spectre)
    design("libName" "cellName" "viewName")
    createNetlist()

    And then copy the netlist (using system("cp ...") maybe) to where you want. The above will put it in the normal ADE directory structure - you could use envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "projectDir" 'string "/path/to/where/you/want/the/root/to/be") to alter that, but it will still create the ADE directory structure underneath - you can't directly netlist into a specific directory with the OCEAN functions.

    You could wrap all the above in your own function definition to make it simpler of course.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
