Auto-create an ADE state, howto?

GaneshShamnur
Hi All,

In a flow that I am working at, an ADE session state needs to be created automatically after a testbench schematic is created.

An ADE state is desired to have analysis, design-variable-values and signals-to-be-saved in it.I am thinking of below two approaches:

Approach 1: Without user-intervention Having known the format of ADE state ( a directory with several .state files ), we can create such directory and create the required files.

Cons:

a) This method of saving state is without using native SKILL routines  but instead of simple file-writing routines with logic.

b) If ther format/syntax of an ADE state is changed by Cadence in future releases, this approach would fail.

Approach 2: With user-interventionRequest User to open an ADE session. Thereafter trigger an action to perform the required ADE settings.

Cons:

a) An intermediate step of User invoking an ADE session is required.

 
Any ideas/suggestions on the above approaches?

Please mention if you have any other ideas altogether.


Thanks,

Ganesh

  • Hi Andrew,

     

    Your guess was partly correct. The API needed 'name' parameter.

    After passing a name for the state to save, i.e asiSaveState(so2 ?name "spectre_custom_state"), a proper ADE session state could be saved.

     

    However, the interesting question is why does it seek 'name' as argument while the session-object already has a value for 'name'.

    In API description, 'name' is an optional argument.Moreover the warning message didn't mean that either !.

    But the API does work. Thank You.

     

    Best Regards,

    Ganesh
