CalibreXRC
----------

Calibre xRC flow has been verified with Mentor Graphics Calibre version 2018.1_27.18. This release only supports extraction with netlist output only.

1) Launch Calibre Interactive nmLVS by choosing Run_nmLVS from the Calibre menu in the Virtuoso layout tool.
2) Load one of the xRC runsets:

  - $PDK_HOME/PEX/xRC/s8_xRC_runset - OR –
  - $PDK_HOME/PEX/xRC/s8_xRC_runset_include

3) Click Run LVS.

As with LVS, 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 project directory.

If the user wants to make his own runset, he just needs to load these files as the rule file:

$PDK_HOME/PEX/xRC/xrcControlFile_s8

QRC extraction is supported for Innovus and allows cell level extraction only.
