Title: Opening an external program through cadence
Post by ghad on Aug 9^th, 2007, 11:39am

Hi,
I am using verilogA under cadence. But I need to run an outside .exe program (or a Matlab .m file) in the background. Can it be done through cadence ( can i open the outside program by using a function in cadence (as in skill) or in verilogA?)
Thank you.
Best regards.

Hi ghad,
You can use the SKILL command system("cmd") for this.

Hi,
Thanks for your message, but I wasn't able to find any tutorial or manual about how using the CIW in cadence to see how to use the "cmd".
If let's say, i want to open the following: "/home/program.exe"
What would be the syntax used?
Thank you for your time,
Best regards,
Ghad

Hi Ghad,
You'd use the SKILL-
Code:

system("/home/program.exe")

Hope this helps...
