Xilinx Synopsys Interface: Getting Started

---

XACT 5.x Setup

In this example, The XACT 5.x Core Tools (DS502) have been installed for SunOS 4.1.x in /tools/xact521/ds502. The Xilinx Synopsys Interface (DS401) has been installed in /tools/xact521/ds401. The Synopsys vendor software has been installed in /tools/synopsys.ver3_4b. Please substitute the appropriate directory paths that apply to your own system. Also, if you are running the the Synopsys tools under HP-UX or SunOS 4.1.x, please substitute hp700 or sparc for sparcOS5 where appropriate. If you are running Xilinx M1 software under HP-UX or SunOS 4.1.x, please substitute hppa or sol for sparc where appropriate.

To use the Synopsys software in conjunction with the Xilinx Synopsys Interface and the XACT 5.x software, the following environment variables must be set:

setenv SYNOPSYS /tools/synopsys.ver3_4b
setenv SYNOPSYS_KEY_FILE <location_of_license_file>
setenv DS401 /tools/xact521/ds401
setenv XACT ${DS401}:/tools/xact521/ds502

set path = ( $DS401/bin/sparc \ 
    	    /tools/xact/ds502 \
	    $SYNOPSYS/sparc/syn/bin \ 
    	    $SYNOPSYS/worldview/bin \
    	    $SYNOPSYS/iview1/bin \
    	    $SYNOPSYS/iview1/sun4/bin \
    	    $SYNOPSYS/sos/bin \ $path)

Add the following line to your setup after installing the simulation
software 

   source $SYNOPSYS/admin/install/sim/bin/environ.csh 

Consult the Synopsys documentation for more information on installing Synopsys software.

M1.3.7 Setup

In this example, The Xilinx M1 Core Tools have been installed for Solaris 2.5 in /tools/xilinxM1. The Xilinx Synopsys Interface is now a part of the Xilinx M1 tree under $XILINX/synopsys. The Synopsys vendor software (where FPGA Compier, Design Compiler, VSS etc are located) has been installed in /tools/synopsys.ver3_4b. Please substitute the appropriate directory paths that apply to your own system. Also, if you are running the the Synopsys tools under HP-UX or Sun, please substitute hp700, sparc(SunOS), or sparcOS5(Solaris) where appropriate. Similarly, ff you are running Xilinx M1 software under HP-UX or Sun, please substitute hppa,sun(SunOS), or sol(Solaris) where appropriate.

To use the Synopsys software in conjunction with Xilinx M1 software and the Synopsys Interface, the following environment variables must be set:

setenv SYNOPSYS /tools/synopsys.ver3_4b
setenv SYNOPSYS_KEY_FILE <location_of_license_file>
setenv XILINX /tools/xilinxM1
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $XILINX/bin/sol:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

set path = ($XILINX/bin/sol \
	    $SYNOPSYS/sparcOS5/syn/bin \
            $SYNOPSYS/worldview/bin \
            $SYNOPSYS/iview1/bin \
            $SYNOPSYS/iview1/sunOS5/bin \
            $SYNOPSYS/sos/bin \ $path)

Add the following line to your setup after installing the simulation
software 
 
   source $SYNOPSYS/admin/install/sim/bin/environ.csh 

Consult the Synopsys documentation for more information on installing Synopsys software.
