Ocean script that calls other ocean scripts. Is that possible?

C4n0s4
Hi! Everyone! Im doing a verification for LNA and i made 3 scripts for 3 different kinds of simulation. What i would like to do is: Use an ocean script to call the other 3 scripts but the design path need to be a global variable acessible to all scripts. Just to make shure the script is running on the same design. Is that possible? Similiar solutions are welcome.... Best Regards Canosa

  • Hi Canosa,

    The OCEAN function design() will return the current design if it has been set, and nil otherwise, so you might use this to rely on the design being set globally before any of the scripts run.  For example, in each of the files, if you had an explicit "design" statement opening a specific design, replace it with something that checks for a global design first.  Also, do not include a "simulator('spectre)", for example, in each script as this would start a new session - you want these to run under the same session (if I understand correctly).  Example, have this near the top of each script:

    unless(design()
    
  design("...") ;; original entry
    
)

    The idea is that if a design is not yet set, design will return nil and the script can set up the design as before. I think that you might be able to do something similar with the simulator command, i.e., if a simulator session is already running use that, otherwise set up a new one - simulator will return the current simulator setting.

    So to use the three scripts all together, you would manually start a simulator and design session and then load each of the scripts.

    I hope that this works as I think it would and that it helps you!
