saving ams config hierarchy

kawan
kawan over 12 years ago

let us say I have a testbench running ams. There is a cell in there called pll_top. It is very complex  and deep. As such I have a particular set of views instantiated all the way in the tree.

Once this works, I now instantiate the whole chip in another testbench. There are now other cells involved but pll_top is still there. Is there not a way to import the entire tree of views that I used for the pll_top. I always wondered why there is a not a way to save the config view from any point onwards, give it a name and reload whenever we want.

I cannot really set this up with the stop views etc.... I have my own views like verilogams_wrl, verilogams_digonly etc  and there is a particular combination that I eventually end up with.

 

Thanks

    Zakir,

    You can do this with hierarchical configs. In your whole_chip/config view in the hierarchy editor, for the cell pll_top, pick the view to use to be the config you used when simulating pll_top.

    In other words, it's perfectly OK to have the view selected in the hierarchy editor being another config view.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
