dB command to get top level port names.

archive
archive over 18 years ago

    Hello,
I am looking to write a TCL script to extract the top level I/O instance names from a design.  Does anyone know of a db command in Encounter to get the names of the top level ports in the design?

Thanks,

    Hi nph,

    "dbForEachCellFTerm" can be used to loop through all of the top level ports in a design. Here's an example:

    dbForEachCellFTerm [dbHeadTopCell] fterm {
    puts "[dbFTermName $fterm]"
    }

    There are sample scripts shipped with the software that you could refer to for more examples in:

    $ENCOUNTER/tools/fe/gift/scripts/tcl/

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
