hi, all:

I have 2 new questions,

1. following is a script to get all the timing paths in SOCE after buildTimingGraph, but is doesn't work, pls help me! The bold characters is the main command.

proc getDesignPath { } {
 set FILE [open list.tmp w]
 dbForEachHeadPath [dbgHead] dpath {
  set type [dbObjType $dpath]
  if { $type == "dbcObjPath" } {
   puts $FILE "Path: [dbPathId $dpath]"
   dbForEachPathTerm $dpath termPtr {
    if { [dbObjType $termPtr] == "dbcObjTerm" } {
     set instPtr [dbTermInst $termPtr]
     puts $FILE "[dbInstName $instPtr]/[dbTermName $termPtr]"
    } else {
     puts $FILE "[dbFTermName $termPtr]"
    }
   }
  }
 }
 close $FILE
}

2. How to get all the via cells in SOCE, that means to get all the via definitions in LEF tech file within SOCE.

Thanks!

  • For item 1, there was a good posting on this topic in this forum entitled: "CTE-TCL to get one timing path?"
    http://www.cdnusers.org/Forums/tabid/52/forumid/19/postid/4253/view/topic/Default.aspx

    As discussed in that thread, the CTE-TCL interface's collection mechanism (ie, "report_timing -collection") returns a collection for all the timing paths reported. Once you have the paths captured as collections, you can use the "timing_points" associated with that collection to get the instances and terminals that you're seeking to get in your example code above.

    Here's an example that's more aligned with what you're trying to do I believe:

    foreach_in_collection timing_point [get_property [report_timing -collection] timing_points] {
    puts "[report_property [get_property $timing_point pin]]"
    }

    I have a hunch that dbForEachHeadPath only works with the FE timer, and as you're probably aware the tool is using the CTE timer going forward.

    For item 2, I'm not aware of a public command available that does what you're asking. I'll post again if I come across additional information that would be useful.

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
