SKILL to reference a library

MinnieYang

Hi,

I am writing SKILL to reference a library, and have done for schematic and layout views. I have some questions about other views:

1) In "config" and "physConfig" views, how can we update the "Library List" for "Global Bindings", and "Library" name for "Top Cell" to reference?

2) Except the items I mentioned above, is there anything else that we need to reference? Is there a complete list for reference and how?

Thanks,

Mingying

    You’d use hdbOpen and then hdbSetDefaultLibListString and hdbSetTopCellViewName for config views.
    For physConfig you’d use cphOpenConfig and then cphSetLibList. I’m not entirely sure how you change the top library (I didn’t try due to lack of time) - normally this is specified if you create the config using cphCreatePhysConfig - maybe you could use cphReplaceLibName to do this.
    Anyway, the hdb and cph families of functions are what you want here.
    Regards,
    Andrew.
