DIE/BGA text in using SKILL

migrg

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to do a few simple things in APD using SKILL.

1) create a new mcm project

2) import a die/BGA text file

3) create some shapes, vias, etc.

I can find information in the manual about how to 1) (I think) and 3), but not 2). Any hints?

Thanks!

  • I dag into this a little more and found the axlRunBatchDBProgram function. I see that I can use techfile utility to input a tech file, and netin to input a netlist, for instance, but I don't see a DIE in or BGA in utility. 

  • Cadence support says that the die/bga text in utilities are not available from skill or as batch calls. While I wait for an alternative from them I've figured out how to do this using just SKILL code: basically manually creating the symbols and placing the components. It seems to work well. If anyone is interested in the details just let me know and I'll share them.
