how to dump XXX.il from cadence virtuoso CIW

rockyicer

I want to check a skill file in /opt/a.il. but i do not have the access right now. but the virtuoso could access this file because it invoke this a.il file from .cdsnit.  so how can i dump this skill from CIW through commend line just like I used to dump the layout skill code by typing :

                                                      dbid = dbOpenCellViewByType("test_PDK" "pmos" "layout" "maskLayout")
                                                                       dbDumpPcDefinePcell( dbid "/home/pmos.il")  

thanks in advance!

  • Hmm, if virtuoso can read it (as you), then you should be able to read the file in UNIX too. You presumably could use view("/opt/a.il") or edit("/opt/a.il") in the CIW if Virtuoso was able to read it (maybe /opt is only mounted on a remote machine and you're running a command to launch virtuoso on that remote machine?). Or presumably you could use sh("xterm &") to open a terminal and then look at the file from that terminal.

    Alternatively if you know a function name, you can do:

    op=outfile("./dump.il")
    pp(theFuncName1 op)
    pp(theFuncName2 op)
    close(op)

    although that will lose any formatting, comments, and so on. That's not really the best idea of course.

    Regards,
