No binary/Encrypted TCL(tcl compiler) support in all cadence tools, but Yes in Synopsys!

iceda

 Currently everybody is talking out IP protection, including all TCL commands, but it seems that Cadence didn't do good job for this kind of IP proctection unlike synopsys. Now all byte-code TCL is supported very well in all synopsys tools, but not a tiny support in all cadence tools!

     Hi iceda,

     I can only speak for the products I am familiar with and I am not aware of any Cadence provided encryption utility that is free and  stand-alone. You may be able to gain access to encryption utility through "Connections" program. Another issue you may keep in mind is that not every tool uses TCL natively so in some cases I am not even sure that TCLPro byte-compiled code could be made to work. Another suggestion I will make is to file a service request through support@cadence.com if you feel TCLPro byte-compiled support is needed for whatever tools you are using. I do not believe supporting it is an issue of whether or not it is possible since I believe it is possible indeed but the issue is more likely one of customer demand for such capability and if so, should it be TCLPro byte-compiled code or one of the other TCL Compiler out there and whatever licensing nonesense is involved.
