A1.5/1.4: CONCEPT2XIL: How to obtain the M1 Concept netlister


Problem Description:
Keywords: concept, netlister, concept2xil

Urgency: Hot

General Description:
The Concept EDIF netlister for the M1 interface must
be used in conjunction with the M1 Concept libraries.

CONCEPT2XIL is developed and supported by Cadence Design
Systems.  This netlister will be built into the PE 13.0 release
of Cadence Concept but is made availible before this release
on the Cadence FTP site.


Solution 1:


The latest version of CONCEPT2XIL may be found in the 97B patch
area on the Cadence FTP site.  This latest version adds support
for the 4000x family.  The patch is contained in two files.

It can be accessed as follows:

Using your Web browser, by going to the Cadence FTP site and
navigating to the patches, 97B, PIC area and then downloading the
following two files:

netlistCore97.02-s001sun4v.t.Z
and
xilM1Netlist97.02-s001sun4v.t.Z


or simply enter the follwoing links:

For Solaris:

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/sun4v/netlistCore97.02-s001sun4v.t.Z

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/sun4v/xilM1Netlist97.02-s001sun4v.t.Z


For Sun4:

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/sun4/netlistCore97.02-s001sun4.t.Z

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/sun4/xilM1Netlist97.02-s001sun4.t.Z


For HP/UX:

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/hppa/netlistCore97.02-s001hppa.t.Z

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/hppa/xilM1Netlist97.02-s001hppa.t.Z


For RS6000:

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/ibmrs/netlistCore97.02-s001ibmrs.t.Z

ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic/ibmrs/xilM1Netlist97.02-s001ibmrs.t.Z


These two files should then be copied to and extracted in your
Cadence install directory. The netlister will get installed to

   $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/pic/picdesigner/bin

Add this directory to you path variable in you system environment.
