Send a command from Perl to Skill

Khurana

Hi,

I'd to know how to pass a command from Perl to Skill...say I want to pass "Hello from Perl" string to Skill, then how can I do that?  I know that I need to invoke perl.exe and the perl file (.pl) using ipcSkillProcess() wherein I provide the exe and path to the perl file as noted below, I still am not sure how Skill will read the info from the Perl file - any ideas?

cid = ipcSkillProcess("D:/perl/per.exe d:/script/myperl.pl"

Here's a line from myperl.pl:
print "Hello from Perl\n";

Thanks,
Varun

  • Varun,

    I don't support Allegro or Concept, so can't help much with that side, but I tested your code by using:

    procedure( SkillCommand()
      printf("echo hi\n")
    ); end procedure

    procedure(from_perl()
     let((cid process)
       process="perl hello_perl.pl"
       cid=ipcSkillProcess(process)
    ))

    Something appeared to be wrong with your process variable - it had quotes wrong, and also the close parentheses were missing. Anyway, I was running on Linux, and the above worked fine. So you might want to check that the perl script actually launched, and check that the SkillCommand() actually does talk to the concept command console.

    If this doesn't work, I'd suggest you log a service request with Cadence Customer Support. This post is in the Custom IC Design SKILL Forum, which is probably not the best place for Concept/Allegro questions.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
