Set UNIX environment variable through in Cadence environment through skill

rajs

Cadence version using=IC616.

Hi ,

I have two questions which i have listed below

a)Not able to set PVDIR variable in unix through skill command.

system("setenv PVDIR /home/data/")

error message in unix terminal: sh: setenv: command not found

b)I want to streamout the gds and then execute skill code sequentially, if the error not exist in streamout or else terminate with error message.

   1)How to wait till streamout is done & How to check for error message. There is a user defined function "xstOutOnCompletion()", How to use 

         along with procedure.

envSetVal("xstream" "xstShowCompletionMsgBox" 'boolean nil)

xstSetField("library" libname)
xstSetField("topCell" cellname)
xstSetField("strmFile" strcat(cellname ".gds"))
xstSetField("attachTechFileOfLib" "tsmc90_tech")
xstSetField("view" "layout")
xstSetField("runDir" path)
xstSetField("summaryFile" "strmOut.sum")
xstSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
xstSetField("logFile" "strmOut.log")
xstOutDoTranslate()

 

Thanks,

rajs

    It's not "using the terminal" - but if you use system() then any standard output that is written will appear on the standard output for virtuoso - which appears in the terminal you started virtuoso in.

    You could use system("xterm -e /some/command &") but then the window would close as soon as it exited. Or you could use ipcBeginProcess or ipcBatchProcess and then show a log window.

    I suspect your issue with it needing saving may be because you have told it to run with virtualMemory true. Without that, it would run in a background process and then definitely save afterwards.

    Regards,
