Multiple gds expot method

Jake Shy

Hi,

I need the help of skill experts.

I want to stream out multiple gds files once.

(There are at least 10 files.)

If possible, I would like to use the skill to export it at once.

Now I'm using thie cadence version. (6.1.6)

Please help me.

Thanks,

Parents

    Hi Jake,

    you can stream out GDS from the terminal  using the command strmout. Just type strmout in the terminal and you can see all parameters it expects. If you want to trigger strmout from Virtuoso, an IPC might be a appropriate solution.

    Regards,

    Matthias

    There are already SKILL functions to do this (no need to use IPC). xstSetField to set up what you want to stream out, and xstOutDoTranslate to do the stream translation. I suggest you look for these in the documentation (or if using IC617/ICADV123 you could use cdsFinder to find these functions, and then the More Info button to take you to the full help).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your reply.

    But I want to get detailed skill script support about this.

    Is it possible?

    Hi Jake,

    Your script would look something like this:

    foreach(libCellView libCellViews

        destructuringBind(libCellView (lib cell view)

            sh(lsprintf("strmout %s %s %s &" lib cell view))

        )

    )

    You can look up the detailed arguments to the strmout program yourself (if we just gave you the answer, what fun would that be?) :)

    I don't think you can use the xst* API to streamout multiple designs in parallel....
