Running VPCD from command line?

tkhan

Hi,

Since the menu option for VPCD has been removed in IC614, I want to use VPCD from command line but I can not generate a cell which I have synthesized. When running from the dropdown menu in IC, the Configuration option lets you choose which library the generated cell is created in (_psmsChooseLibForm->_psmsLibNameStrField->value = "lab2" is what shows up in virtuoso), how can I set this via the command line? vpcd -h does not give any clue, nor do the files in ~/.vpcm_datdir.

Thanks,

Tarek

  • Tarek,

    Parts of the VPCD environment are in SKILL context files, so it's more than just being able to run from the command line.

    In fact VPCD is also no longer in the MMSIM72 stream (VPCD was End-of-lifed in 2008).

    So realistically you should use a version of both IC and MMSIM where it is available (i.e. IC613 and MMSIM71).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
