How to retrieve the variable which is defined in the SOC Encounter configure file ?

archive

I have some variable defined in my SOC Encounter’s configure file, such as set BLOCK CDMA200 set SPC_DIR /user/tom/3gmodule/CDMA In the Encounter shell environment, how can I retrieve the variable ${BLOCK}, and use it in my other scripts, I ask this question because I found it in inconvenient that I must defined some of variables both in the configure file and in my tcl scripts.

  • It looks like the variable defined in the .conf file are only available locally (ie, within the .conf file). If you want to be able to refer to variables set in the .conf file you could defined them as globals:

    design.conf:
    set rda_Input(ui_gen_footprint) {1}
    global bob
    set bob test

    encounter> loadConfig design.conf
    encounter> puts $bob
    test

    There may be other ways to retrieve some of the things you'd like to extract from the .conf file via FE db commands. For example CDMA200 might be the name of the top cell in your design so you could query that with an FE TCL command:

    encounter> dbgDesignName
    CDMA200

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
