Skill script for uniquification of cells

Paramjeet

Hi,

Can someone share the skill code for uniquification of cells of cadence library with some user provided specific prefix.

The prefix to be combination of alphabet and numeric.

Thanks

    Hi Paramjeet,

    I'd love to help you with the SKILL code, I just want to get the spec right. Can you provide a little more details of the problem you are trying to solve?

    Hello RiadKaced,

    Thanks for your response. Actually what we need is that we have certain cadence libraries which we are using for building the IP. Then we are sending across the entire collateral to SoC team for their usage. There are collisions at SoC level due to same names. So to avoid that we want to uniquify all libs with a specific prefix everytime before sending data to SoC team. Say for example for first release we can give prefix as release1_<cellname>, and then on final release we can give prefix as final_releaseV04_<cell name>. This prefix we want for all cells of all cadence libs we have. The final cadence libs we give to SoC team should have all those fixes appended. This entire thing require the prefixing of all cells and their correct change in the references wherever they are used in the entire cadence lib.

    Sure, that requires a bit of coding but that's feasible. What about the libName ? Do you keep the original name for the libraries or do you want to prefix the libs as well. Also, I guess Cadence libraries (analogLib, basic ...ect) and other reference libraries (say IO, StandardCell libs ...etc) are excluded from this stuff, right ?

    For lib names I prefer to keep them same and same for reference libraries.
