[edit] Calibre

Calibre will do rules checking and parasitic extraction of VLSI designs.

To setup the Calibre environment, type 

Calibre

This will change the command line prompt to include "[Calibre]".

To run the program 

calibre -gui

To view the documentation 

mgcdocs

To use the Cadence / Calibre interface, add the following to your .cdsinit file and remember to invoke both environments, Cadence and Calibre (and possibly ADS). 

; .cdsinit for Calibre

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;
; check CALIBRE_HOME
;
cal_home=getShellEnvVar("CALIBRE_HOME")
if( cal_home==nil then
    cal_home=getShellEnvVar("MGC_HOME")
    if( cal_home!=nil then
        printf("// CALIBRE_HOME environment variable not set; setting it to value of MGC_HOME\n");
    )
)

if( cal_home!=nil && isDir(cal_home) && isReadable(cal_home) then

    ; Load calibre.skl or calibre.4.3.skl, not both!

    ; Load calibre.skl for Cadence versions 4.4 and greater
    load(strcat(cal_home "/lib/calibre.skl"))

;;;;Load calibre.4.3.skl for Cadence version 4.3
;;; load(strcat(cal_home "/lib/calibre.4.3.skl"))

else

    ; CALIBRE_HOME is not set correctly. Report the problem.

    printf("//  Calibre Error: Environment variable ")

    if( cal_home==nil || cal_home=="" then
        printf("CALIBRE_HOME is not set.");
    else
        if( !isDir(cal_home) then
            printf("CALIBRE_HOME does not point to a directory.");
        else
            if( !isReadable(cal_home) then
                printf("CALIBRE_HOME points to an unreadable directory.");
            )
        )
    )
    printf(" Calibre Skill Interface not loaded.\n")

    ; Display a dialog box message about load failure.

    hiDisplayAppDBox(
        ?name           'MGCHOMEErrorDlg
        ?dboxBanner     "Calibre Error"
        ?dboxText       "Calibre Skill Interface not loaded."
        ?dialogType     hicErrorDialog
        ?dialogStyle    'modal
       ?buttonLayout   'Close
    )
)

)

if(getShellEnvVar("HPEESOF_DIR") then
	load(sprintf(nil "%s/idf/config/.cdsinit" getShellEnvVar("HPEESOF_DIR")))
else
	printf(".cdsinit/.oceanrc: Environment variable HPEESOF_DIR is not set!\n")
