XStream run in "Stream Out From Virtual Memory" mode

Ilya Temnikov over 13 years ago

Hello

Is it possible to run XStream in "Stream Out From Virtual Memory" mode from CIW command line?

Andrew Beckett over 13 years ago

hi Ilya,
xstSetField("strmFile" "test.gds")
xstSetField("library" "opamp090")
xstSetField("topCell" "adc_sample_hold")
xstSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
xstOutDoTranslate()
Note that there's no xstSetField() flag to turn off display of the log file - if turned off from the UI, it won't appear, but you can't set that field procedurally until IC616 - then it will be xstSetField("showCompletionMsgBox" "true")
The field names match what appears in a saved template file (or command line args). The virtualMemory is a special, as will be showCompletionMsgBox when that's added in the next release.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hello Andrew
Thank you very much for your answer. But maybe there can be some workaround to close the message box. For example simulating "No" button in this box?

Unfortunately I don't think there is - I don't think it's a SKILL dialog box - there doesn't appear to be a SKILL function to hit No or Yes on the dialog box.

Andrew.

But when I run xstOutDoTranslate() then it knows that the switch was switched off previously in UI mode. So this means that it is stored somewhere. Maybe in some environment variable or somewhere else...

Hi Ilya,

Sure, it's stored - but it's not accessible from SKILL. C++ data structures are not automatically accessible via a SKILL API - which is why this was fixed in IC616 - there's a specific CCR on this.

Regards,

Andrew

Oh. I see. As I see after my experiments cellMap can not be set too? Or there is a way to set it?

Ilya,

It works for me. I can set it:

xstSetField("cellMap" "doodah.map")

It checks when I set it that the file can be read.

And it works - the stream file has the cell mapped that I specified in the file - both when running from virtual memory or in background mode.

What subversion are you using?

Regards,

Andrew

Hmm strange. It was set now. I'll try to reproduce the previous bug behavior and let you know in case of success

Hi Ilya,

It's a pretty old ISR you're using there - maybe the problem has been fixed already (I've not searched to check).

Anyway, if you can reproduce it, let me know.
