Predefined libraries
The environment variable MBK_CATA_LIB(1)
defines several paths corresponding
to the Alliance predefined cell libraries. Each library
is in one unix directory.
Only the standart cell library sclib(1) is available in the Alliance 1.1 release.
For each library, a special file named CATAL describes the library contents. This file must be in the same directory as the library cells. For the Alliance tools, the cells described in the predefined libraries are read only.
The working library
The environment variable MBK_WORK_LIB(1)
defines the current working
directory. Its default value is . (dot). This directory will
contain the user cells, seen as read write by the Alliance tools.
It is not necessary to describe all the user cells in a catalog file. But the user can locally define a catalog file for the working library. The local catalog file name is set by the environment variable MBK_CATAL_NAME(1) , CATAL by default. Alliance will concatenate all catalog files of the predefined libraries and the optional catalog file of the working library to access the attributs of each cell.
Cells attributs
A cell may be characterized by four attributs:
mbk(1) , sclib(1) , incatalog(3) , incatalogdelete(3) , incatalogfeed(3) , incataloggds(3) , MBK_CATA_LIB(1) , MBK_CATAL_NAME(1) , MBK_WORK_LIB(1) .
This tool is under development at the ASIM/LIP6/UPMC laboratory, cao-vlsi
research team.
We need your feedbak to improve documentation and tools.
