Alternative option to asiMapOutputName

adeuser777

Hi,

I am using asiMapOutputName command to get terminal to output mapping information. Ex: asiMapOutputName("netlistDir" 'terminal "i0/i1%out". And it returns it corresponding output name. Something like, "i0/i1:1".

We use this methodology to create device and instance terminals to its output name mapping. This mapping information is used by our downstram tools. On a big design (pure schematic), with around 10000 different terminals, asiMapOutputName takes around 5 hrs to complete. Do we have a better way to get terminal to output mapping information?

 

Thanks,

Ram

     If you ran a simulation, you would have been able to do:

    openResults("/path/to/sim/results/psf")
    selectResult('tran) ; or whatever analysis
    mapTable=makeTable('myMap nil)
    foreach((sch net) outputs() outputs(?map nil)
      mapTable[sch]=net
    )

    and then you have a table where you can do mapTable["/out"] and get "out" or whatever mapping has occurred.

    If you need to do this pre-sim, please contact customer support - it might need an enhancement to allow faster access to the mapping information.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
