RTL_compiler SDF

archive
archive over 19 years ago

Hi,

I need to simulate a gate-level netlist from RC 4.2.2
Can anybody knows how to generate an
sdf file from RC?

I've used the "write_sdf" command but the program says
that it's obsolete and doesn't accept any option.
Moreover the RC documentation doesn't tell
anything about "write_sdf"

Thank you.

    Hi giohdl,
    The write_sdf is an unsupported command, but it should work to give you a basic SDF. The syntax is:

    write_sdf > filename

    There's another way to get SDF is to use BuildGates (bgx_shell) from RC package. The basic script is:

    invoke BuildGates: bgx_shell

    read_dotlib your_library
    read_verilog -st your_netlist
    write_sdf file_name
