Quickly schematic-viewing a gates file

Almendrico
Almendrico over 9 years ago

Hi all,

I wonder whether it is possible to quickly open an schematic viewer to display a digital gates file

Given I have a .vg (or .v) file and a verilog gates libraries, is there any quick way to open an schematic browser via the command shell ? My only option at the moment is to call simvision and then, once there, send the design to the schematic viewer... Is there something faster, something like below:

$: simvision myfile.vg -y mylibs/tsmc18


Any comments welcome

Thanks

    Thanks Steve

    Couple of comments:
    * irun also needs a timescale directive
    * once the layout windown opens, it is still needed to select the block and 'send to schematic viewer'

    too much setup work involved here ... not exactly what I was looking for
