Abstract: Many EDA tools (including Riviera-PRO) incorporate a Tcl shell that enables their actions to be automated by a suitable script. This is particularly useful for repetitive tasks such as running regression tests or a series of related simulations. This presentation introduces the Tcl language and shows how powerful scripts can be quickly put together by someone knowing only a handful of language constructs. It shows how common tasks such as running simulations and extracting results may be automated by a script and how to make such scripts reusable.
Agenda:
• Introduction to Tcl
• Creating reusable scripts
• Controlling a simulation and extracting results
