loading pcell callbacks

archive

Hi all,

Is there a way to load pcell callbacks for outer-Cadence environments (i.e Virtuoso Custom Router, Assura LVS, etc.), other than including a libInit.il file in the library where the pcells reside?

I was expecting that compiling the code into a context will do the work, but it doesn't seem to.

Thanks

  • You should be able to do this. You need to be careful not to use functions which are not "pcell safe" because otherwise you can have problems with stream out or Assura (for example) which don't have access to the full set of DFII functions.

    But doing:

    when(isCallable('drLoadDrf)
    drLoadDrf(file)
    )

    should work - you need to ensure that the file path is correct of course. Also, the libInit.il only gets loaded once per session remember, so if it has already been loaded, it won't get loaded again...
