NCSU TechLib Ami06 - Diva -> Assura Files

Hey everyone,

I am running Cadence Virtuoso and I need to convert some NCSU_TechLib_Ami06 library files (divaDRC.rul, divaLVS.rul, tech.db and the techfile) over from its Diva implementation (as of the NCSU_CDK_1.6.0_Beta) to be Assura compatible. I was wondering if anyone has already made this conversion happen for any/all of the listed files, or if people had tips for the conversion process.

  • If you really need to do this (you could just continue to use Diva - see Looking for Diva menu in ICADV12.x/ICADVM18.1/ICADVM20.1/IC23.1 release if it's just the menus you're missing), then look at <ASSURAinstDir>/doc/DivaToAssura/DivaToAssura.pdf - also can be found online here: Diva to Assura Migration Guide -- Preface - Preface

    You also don't need to migrate the tech.db or techfile (I assume that's the ASCII tech file).

  • Appreciate the feedback Andrew!
    Looked into using SKILL commands but it is unfamiliar to me and it seems like there may be extensive additional programming to make it work.

    Additionally, I am using IC 25.1 and the bash terminal command that was suggested does not appear to add any Diva specific menus in Layout Suite XL.

    For now, I will read up on the migration guide.

  • I just checked this with IC25.1. The Diva menus are in the Verify menu (DRC, Extract, LVS etc) once you've set this environment variable.
