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.

  • Ah yes- I follow what you're trying to do. I think it's fairly common that you want to keep almost everything in a project/golden conf file, but you want to change just a couple of things (like the netlist or timing constraints or whatever).

    I usually do that this way:

    set NETLIST /path/to/verilog_file
    loadConfig golden.conf 0
    set rda_Input(ui_netlist) "$NETLIST"
    commitConfig

    The key is the "0" after loadConfig which is conceptually the same as what happens when you load a conf file via the GUI. Then clicking "OK" on the Design Import is the same as commitConfig.

    Do you think that will suit your needs?
