Extract metal layer for all pins

AFNielsen

I am trying to extract some of the information you get from exporting a LEF file by using SKILL. I have found a post(locating all layout pins via skill (google.com)) explaining how to extract pin names and dimensions, and it works like a charm. Is there a similar parameter to add, to extract the metal layer of each pin?

Also, is there some way I can view the sub categories of the 'cv'-object? Like the dir() command in Python.

  • You could adapt that code simply:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    foreach(term cv~>terminals
      foreach(pin term~>pins
        ; below makes sure it works with both IC5141 and IC61
        ; because in IC61 you can have multiple figures on the pin figure:
        foreach(fig pin~>figs || list(pin~>fig)
          printf("Term: %L Layer: %L BBOX: %L\n" term~>name fig~>layerName fig~>bBox)
        )
      )
    )

    For any database object in SKILL, you can use cv~>? to list the available attributes and cv~>?? to show attributes and values. You can then use cv~>terminals~>?? for example too - which will get the attributes and values of each terminal object.
