Connecting Remotely
From Linux/Unix
First of all, the tools are only set up on servers (mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu for CMPE222/223, your specific lab machine in CMPE125/CMPE126, or on any of the mada machines for the MASC and VLSI research groups).
You can run them remotely on the machines by exporting your X display:
ssh -Y mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu
or
ssh -Y mosis3.cse.ucsc.edu
and you must have an X11 client on your computer. Suggested X11 clients are
- X11.app in OSX
- Xorg's XFree86 in Linux
- Xming in Windows
You can do this from home if you have a fast internet connection. Otherwise, you must use the computing labs.
Win32 Xming Setup
To display on a win32 machine (vista), you should do this:
- Install xming from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-6-9-0-28-setup.exe
- Install Xming fonts from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-fonts-7-3-0-2-setup.exe
- Install putty from http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
- Start Xming
- start putty (an SSH client)
- in the "SSH->Tunnels" page of putty, click on "Enable X forwarding"
- In the Session page of putty, write the hostname (bacon.cse.ucsc.edu). You can also write your username like this username@mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu. Hit "Save" to save the seesion for future use
- Hit "Open" to start your session
Any X application (e.g. xcalc) should now work by displaying to your local machine
Setting up the CAD Tools
On this machine, all of the CAD tools are set up by a single setup file called /mada/software/setup.sh. It is written for bash, so you will need to run this shell first if you do not already. You can check your shell by typing:
echo $SHELL
The setup for CMPE125 is /opt/setup_synopsys.sh so change the name below as appropriate.
Setup with bash
In your .bashrc file add the following lines:
source /mada/software/setup.sh source /mada/software/setup_ciranova.sh
You must now log out and log back in to get the new setup.
Setup with csh or tcsh
If your default shell is cshrc (the SOE default), you can either a) request that the SOE change it via itrequest b) run bash at the end of your .cshrc file.
If you are adventurous, you can c) use the configuration file that is here:
/mada/software/setup.csh
Note, however, that there may be errors in this file and you should contact SOE tech support if there are differences between it and the bash setup.sh file. THIS IS NOT THE RECOMMENDED SETUP.
As of now, there is no config file to setup Cirnova p-cells, so this won't work by itself.
You must now log out and log back in to get the new setup.
