Purpose:

The main purpose of this Generic GDS utility is to convert binary GDS-II file to a readable text format (GDT), so user can validate the design content, modify or manipulate the content using simple script languate such as tcl or perl without decoding the GDS-II binary format.

How to build the executable

1. Compile Utility Library

  • libutil - general utility routine, such hash, list, link ....

  • libgds - GDS-II reader/writter

    Example:

    % cd libsrc/
% make clean
% make update

2. Build Main Program

  • gds2gdt - convert GDS (binary format) to GDT (text format)

  • gdt2gdx - convert GDT (text format) to GDX (binary format)

  • gds2gdx - convert GDS (binary format) to GDX (binary format)

    Example:

    % cd main/	
% make clean
% make publish

3. Run Test Prgoram

  • TEST1 - check GDS2GDT+GDT2GDX (muxdelay.gds <=> muxdelay.gdx)

  • TEST2 - check GDS2GDT (muxdelay.gdt <=> output.gdt)

  • TEST3 - check GDS2GDX (muxdelay.gds <=> output.gdx)

    Example:

    % cd run/	
% make TEST1
