So the location for these tcl callbacks has to be enter in the SetupDialog under macro callback path. However the iPDK only include the name of the functions to be call and not the file containing this function on disc. for a capacitor after changing width or length the capacitance of the capacitor will be calculated.
#LAYOUTEDITOR PI CODE#
The little program code will check parameter range and calculate releated parameters. In the iPDK there are links to a programing code written in tcl. If you start the LayoutEditor which the option layout-pycell -debug you will get even more output to review. The error messages can give a hint to the name. In that case please have a look at the output of the terminal in which you have started the LayoutEditor. Often the use of specific library names is required by the iPDK, but this names are not well documented. Also the name of this library must be identical with the reference name used in the main library. This OpenAccess library must also be listed in the lib.defs file. The main iPDK OpenAccess library often required additional libraries like a OpenAccess database with the technical setup. The correct OpenAccess path is the folder which contains the hidden file.

home/username/myPDK is the path where you have installed the iPDK shipped by the foundery. PDKname is the name of the library as it will be used inside the LayoutEditor. Add two lines for each OpenAccess library you use: It is a simple text file and can be edited with any editor including the TextEditor included in the LayoutEditor. If the lib.defs file don't exists, create it. The shown pathes must point to the P圜ell installation. With this dialog you can also check the correct selection of the OpenAccess version. With the About OpenAccess feature inside the SetupDialog of the LayoutEditor you can check its location. The default location for this file is /home/username/lib.defs. All iPDKs you want to use had to be registered there. The lib.defs is the main configuration file of OpenAccess.

layout-pycell is located in the bin folder of the LayoutEditor installation. by export CNI_ROOT="/your/installation/path"). If you haven't installed P圜ell in the default location set the environment CNI_ROOT before calling this script (e.g. That is a small script setting up pathes correctly to detect your P圜ell installation including the OpenAccess version used by it. Start the LayoutEditor with layout-pycell. For details on the LayoutEditor installation, please see Installation. The general Linux packages 2 support OpenAccess start with version 20161101. The LayoutEditor includes OpenAccess support for all Linux versions. If you need assistance for the modifications, please contact the support. Further more it can be required to adjust the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable form the layout-pycell start script (see as well below).
#LAYOUTEDITOR PI INSTALL#
These version of P圜ell will not install into the default installation path, so that in any case the CNI_ROOT environment variable (see below) must be set. If that is the case for your PDK, please use the P圜ell version shipped by your foundery. many PDKs from TSMC) come with an own version of P圜ell and run only with this version correctly. The default shell on Ubuntu dash did not work. Change the first line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. You had to fix the file install/bin/platname of the installation package. It is recommended to keep the default installation folders, especially keeping the main installation path unchanged ( /opt/synopsys ) is highly recommended. To install P圜ell uncompress the shipped package and run.
#LAYOUTEDITOR PI DOWNLOAD#
You had to complete a request form and will get the download information by mail two days later. The P圜ell installation package is suppliered by Synopsys. This instruction describe the installation of a iPDK environment on a 64bit Linux system like Ubuntu 12.4 or newer, RHEL 6 or newer.
#LAYOUTEDITOR PI 32 BIT#
Especially a 64bit Linux system is recommended as the support of P圜ell for 32 bit systems is discontinued. So it is recommended to use iPDK on a Linux system. A fully functions iPDK setup with the LayoutEditor can be archieved on Linux and Windows.
#LAYOUTEDITOR PI 64 BIT#
The required OpenAccess extension P圜ell runs on 64 bit Windows and Linux only. However OpenAccess is not available for Apple Mac systems. The LayoutEditor supports OpenAccess and iPDK. P圜ell is an extension for OpenAccess from Synopsys and not included in the LayoutEditor package. Parametric cells written with (P圜ells) are used. These interoperable PDKs include a comprehensive set of APIs to enable customization, support advanced PDK features and provide an interactive environment for PDK development. Interoperable Process Design Kits (iPDKs) is based on the OpenAccess database and uses standard languages such as Tcl and Python that ensure interoperability among all EDA vendor tools.
