Title: Generate a spectre netlist
Post by achim.graupner on Dec 5^th, 2007, 10:15pm

Dear all,

how can I generate a spectre netlist using skill. I want to specify the swtich and stop list as well as destination file name of the skill file.
Is there any better approach than using

Code:

envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "projectDir" 'string "./simulation")
simulator('spectre)
design( "$library" "$cell" "$view" )
createNetlist()

the main drawback of this approach are:
- I change my ADE defaults
- the netlist is to be found at ./simulation/<cellname>/<simulatorname>/<viewname>/netlist/input.scs
- a window displaying the netlist pops up

Any ideas?
Thanks, Achim

Dear Achim,

Only a solution for the last of your drawbacks
createNetlist( ?display nil )
To get back your ADE defaults, you could probably do something like
t_asimDefaultProjectDir = envGetVal( "asimenv.startup" "projectDir" ) ... execute your code ... envSetVal( "asimenv.startup" "projectDir" 'string t_asimDefaultProjectDir )
Cheers,
Bernd

Thank you Bernd.

2nd question: I want to remove the full path ./simulation/<cellname>/<simulatorname>/<viewname>/netlist/input.scs after having processed the netlist. I however can only remove that directory after closing df2. This is probably because an ADE session is started.
Any idea how to close the ADE session or how to run the spectre netlister without using ADE?

Achim
