MASC uses a unified compilation environment which requires the use of the command rake to synthesize designs.
 
To synthesize your design follow the steps below:
 
 
Step 1:  Create a directory, preferably named the same thing as your design top level. 
 
 
        For example: if my design is named alu,
 
        I would create a directory by the name of alu.
 
 
Step 2:  Create an rtl directory inside the design directory. 
 
 
        For example: alu/rtl
 
 
Step 3:  All design rtl should reside in the rtl directory.
 
 
        For example: alu/rtl/alu.v  alu/rtl/alu_mem.v alu/rtl/alu_fifo.v
 
 
Step 4:  In the alu directory create an xml file.  The xml file must have the same name as the directory.
 
 
        For example: alu/alu.xml
 
 
Step 5:  The xml file must contain the following tags.
 
 
        For example:
 
  <project name="alu">
 
        <requires>common</requires>
 
        <requires>rnet</requires>
 
        <requires>storage</requires>
 
        <requires>retry</requires>
 
        <asic frequency="1400" tech="90" suite="dc"/>
 
        <asic base="alu"/>
 
        <catalyst base="alu" test=""/>
 
        <verify base="alu"/>
 
        <fpga base="alu" tool="synplify"/>
 
        <testbench base="alu_tb" suite="vcs">
 
        <CC></CC>
 
        <verilog>tests/</verilog>
 
        <tab>tests/</tab>
 
        <source>
 
        </source>
 
        </testbench>
 
        <regression target="test">alu_tb</regression>
 
        <regression target="asic">alu</regression>
 
        <regression target="fpga">alu</regression>
 
  </project>
 
 
Step 6:  From the design directory type rake.
 
 
        For example:  (from alu/ )type "rake"
 
        All options for the current design should be displayed on the screen.
 
       
 
        rigo @ mada0 ~/mascrtl/projects/tapeout/alu $ rake
 
                      (in /mada/users/rigo/mascrtl)
 
                      rake all                # Run everything!
 
                      rake asic:all            # Run all ASIC tasks.
 
                      rake asic:alu_top        # Run "alu_top" with ASIC.
 
                      rake catalyst:all        # Create the Catalyst directory
 
                      rake catalyst:alu_top    # Create "alu_top" for Catalyst.
 
                      rake clean              # Remove any temporary products.
 
                      rake clobber            # Remove any generated file.
 
                      rake default            # Show a list of available tasks.
 
                      rake fpga:all            # Run all FPGA tasks.
 
                      rake fpga:alu_top        # Run "alu_top" with "synplify" FPGA.
 
                      rake regression:all      # Run all regression tasks.
 
                      rake regression:clean    # clean all regression tasks.
 
                      rake regression:clobber  # clobber all regression tasks.
 
                      rake rverilog:all        # Create the Verilog/Ruby generated files.
 
                      rake test:all            # Run all test benches.
 
                      rake verify:all          # Run all verify tasks.
 
                      rake verify:alu_top      # Run "alu_top" with Formality.
 
                      General Options:
 
                      full=1        ; Let any module to be a target
 
                      v=1            ; Do not launch program execution
 
                      FPGA Options:
 
                      tool=num      ; synplify
 
                      ASIC Options:
 
                      tech=num      ; Technology (90, 65...)
 
                      frequency=num  ; Frequency in MHz (900, 140)
 
                      suite=string  ; ASIC suite (dc, pt, rc, soc)
 
                      TEST Options:
 
                      suite=string  ; Test suite (vsim, vcs, ncsim, gcc)
 
                      gui=1          ; Invoke gui for testbench (vsim, vcs)
 
                      console=1      ; Console Mode. (verify, dc_shell) Only with v=1.
 
                      do="run -all"  ; ModelSim -do line, ex do="do wave.do; run -all" (GUI Only)
 
                      grid=1        ; Submit testbench(s) to Sun Grid (vsim, vcs)
 
                      SDF=1          ; Do timing run (must compile with ASIC first)
 
                      SAIF=1        ; Dump a SAIF and VCD for power analysis (it could be used with SDF=1)
 
                      ttb=0          ; Disable automatic generation of testbench files
 
                      args=          ; Pass args to tb. Use Quotes to pass multiple args
 
                      Touch the ttb rtl file to regenerate the ttb
 
 
Step 7:  Type "rake asic:alu full=1 v=1
 
 
        Output: (in /mada/users/rigo/mascrtl)
 
                ./dc_alu.sh
 
 
                ./dct_alu.sh
 
 
                ./dc_alu.sh
 
 
                ./dct_alu.sh
 
 
Step 8: type ./dc_alu.sh
