| ----------- |
| |
| To ensure proper processing of the schematic for LVS, the user must first create a “simulation run control file.” This file must be called “.simrc” and must reside in the work area. A sample file is provided: |
| |
| $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/simrc.sample |
| |
| Copy this file to “.simrc” in the user’s work area. |
| |
| Calibre LVS flow has been verified with Mentor Graphics Calibre version 2018.1_27.18. |
| |
| To run: |
| |
| 1) Launch Calibre Interactive nmLVS by choosing Run_nmLVS from the Calibre menu in the Virtuoso layout tool. |
| 2) Load one of the LVS runsets: |
| |
| - $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/s8_lvs_runset - OR - |
| - $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/s8_lvs_runset_include |
| |
| 3) Click Run LVS. |
| |
| The runsets are identical, except the second runset allows the use of a custom include file. This file must be called “Calibre_LVS_Include” and must reside in the user’s workarea. The custom include file allows the user to specify additional LVS settings. |
| |
| If the user wants to make her own runset, she just needs to load these files as the rule file: |
| |
| $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/lvs_s8_opts |
