Cadence Encounter

To use the Cadence tools, you must change this environment variable:

export OSUcells=/mada/software/techfiles/osu_soc_v2.7/cadence 

The OSU scripts for Cadence can be copied from here:

cp -rf /mada/software/techfiles/osu_soc_v2.7/cadence/flow/tsmc018

You will need to specify the correct top-level name and gate-level netlist name in encounter.conf. To place and route the design, type:

encounter encounter.tcl

with X11 exported to your local machine. If this completes successfully, you can hit "f" to center the layout.
