New to SKILL - where do I find the docs?

chuckfannin

Hello,

I work for a Cadence partner.  I need to help a cadence customer with some SKILL language programming that works with our products.

I do not currently have any cadence products installed on our systems, I am going to debug on the customer system.

Where can I find getting started/reference guides for SKILL programming?  I need to make some additions to existing SKILL code.  I am an experienced programmer, need some docs to help get me going.

  • Hi Chuck,

    As a Connections Partner you should be able to get Cadence Online Support access I believe; if you have any problems, try emailing connections@cadence.com . Once on the support site, you can go to Resources→Product Manuals, pick IC6.1.8 as the release, and then on the left side you can pick the "SKILL Language" group (for general SKILL Language guides, including the User Guide which covers the language itself) or the "SKILL Reference" document type on the left which will give you the API reference manuals for various product areas.

    Regards,

    Andrew

  • Hi Chuck,

    Well if you debug on the customer system you should have access to the Cadence documentation from there. To bring up the Cadence online documentation just type cdnshelp in a Unix terminal and then go to SKILL - SKILL Language - Cadence SKILL Language User Guide.

    Alternatively you might get the documentation from Cadence's support portal - https://support/cadence.com. You need to register to this portal though which requires the hostid of a valid license server.

    Thank you!  It appears my access has expired, I am working on getting it renewed.
