ihdl symbol template or post-import skill trigger?

drdanmc

Is there a way to either specify a symbol template to be used when ihdl creates a symbol (like the tsgTemplateMasters and schSetEnv("tsgTemplateType" "MySymbol") in Virtuoso) or alternatively a way to specify a skill procedure to be executed afterwards?

Currently we call ihdl from the command line to create the symbol but would like to have things like cdsTerm() labels and [@libName] [@cellName] [@instanceName] labels be generated as well.

  • Doesn't seem to be possible. A number of discussion about it which hint that it ought to be possible, but the AEs in some other CCRs (plus me trying it just now) suggest that it doesn't work.

    There are (at least) CCRs 733468 and 939584. Both seem to have ended up in a status where not a lot of attention is going to be paid to them - so you probably will have to request this yourself. 

    You may need to write some code to do something like this for each symbol in Virtuoso afterwards:

    schPinListToSymbol("opamp090" "mystrinv" "symbol" schSymbolToPinList("opamp090" "mystrinv" "symbol"))

    (having set the tsgTemplate env var first).

  • Thanks for looking into it. I filed a case to request this.
