using variables for command options in Setup Mode and wlec_master.* files

archive

Conformal version is 07.10-s140.

Question 1.

I want to use a variable for the file entries in the following command in setup mode:

read library -statetable -liberty \
/home/usr/some_dir/file \
/home/usr/some_dir/some_other_file
...

for example, like this:

read library -statetable -liberty \
$some_dir/file \
$some_dir/some_other_file

$some_dir will be a UNIX environment variable.
How can it be done in Conformal setup mode language?

I could not find any.
Later I will bind it to ENV_VAR stuff in RTL Compiler interface, because our Conformal scripts are generated automatically by RTL Compiler.

Question 2

If you call write_do_lec in RTL Compiler, wlec_master.do,csh files are generted in the directory where RC is running. How can I tell the tool, so that it generates these files in a directory I can specify?

  • Hi

    I can help with the first question:

    UNIX> setenv MYDIR rtl
    UNIX> setenv MYFILE test.v
    UNIX> lec -nog
    SETUP> read design $MYDIR/$MYFILE

    will work. In tclmode you would have to use this of course:

    TCL_SETUP> read design $env(MYDIR)/$env(MYFILE)

    BTW -statetable is default since 5.2 so you can skip that switch.

    About your second question, looks like the answer is 'write_do_lec -revised -tmp_dir '

  • I am very sorry for this late answer, I was very busy with some more important stuff in synthesis. Thank you for the replies.

    To croy: You say -statetable option is default but as I stated in my first posting in this thread that we are using such Conformal scripts which are generated automatically by RTL Compiler. That means, Cadence tool infers that option. They do that I think to support a wide range of Conformal versions. Probably not all customers use the same version.

    I will have try your recommendations in the first opportunity. Thank you folks.

  • Hi croy,

    the option -tmp_dir you mentioned is undocumented in v07.10-s009_1. My synthesis run time is pretty long, hopefully to try it within 3-4 hours.

    Are you sure that this option can be used for write_do_lec? You mentioned "looks like the answer is...". That means you are also not certain, aren't you?

    Sporadic...

  • Hi Sporadic

    The only reason I said 'looks like' is that the info came from another AE. It should be correct.

    Good point about -statetable and old releases.

  • Hi croy,

    -tmp_dir option solved the problem. Hope to see such kind of hidden/undocumented docs in the manuals soon.

  • Hi Utku

    -tmp_dir was documented for write_do_clp but not for write_do_lec. It's now fixed.

    Thanks for the catch.
