I described a small circuit in VHDL and throughly simulate it with Alliance. I obtained the '.ap' file, and the masks can be seen well with Graal. But, I'd like to open them with Magic (CAD tool from Digital) and simulate electrically the circuit with Spice (Berkeley's Linux version), for validation. So, I've got two questions about it: 1 - How can I translate the '.ap' type file to Magic ? ; use s2r I can translate from '.ap' to CIF, but I can't open it with Magic. There are many errors. I can see only few connections. I'm not sure but... Magic CIF format is not exactly the same as Alliance's (which is a compass extention). Use Magic to generate a CIF file then compare with the Alliance generated file and use a small sed/awk script to modify as needed... 2 - Can I obtain a Spice description ? use x2y We haven't got much experience with Alliance. Do you have a quick guide or tutorial ? yes, overview.ps and 2 tutorials in Alliance 3.2 distrib. -- Sincerely, Olivier. ==================================================================== Olivier SIROL Alliance Team ASIM/LIP6/UPMC Coul. 55-65, 2e etg, Bur. 213 75252 Paris Cedex 05 mailto:Olivier.Sirol@lip6.fr Tel: (33/0) 1.44.27.30.43 http://asim.lip6.fr/~czo/ Fax: (33/0) 1.44.27.72.80 ===================== Alliance on the WWW ========================== - Home page : http://asim.lip6.fr/alliance/ - Ftp site : ftp://asim.lip6.fr/pub/alliance/ - E-mail support : mailto:alliance-support@asim.lip6.fr ====================================================================
