Is there anyway to convince Assura to run a schematic vs schematic comparison? Thanks -Dan
Sure. Not from the GUI (unless that's been added in the last 6 months or so) but Assura doesn't really care if the "layout" is an extracted layout netlist, or a CDL netlist, or a dfII netlist. Assura User Guide, Chapter 6 "Comparing Two Schematics". I had a PCR open at one time to improve this section of the User Guide, but it hadn't made it as of this March. My notes from the time I had the PCR open: SVS instructions ------------------------- 0) Start with a normal working layout/schematic lvs.rsf. 1) Your new svs.rsf should contain *only* a copy of the same avCompareRules() block you used for LVS. 2) Remove any layout( netlist()) block that might exist there. 3) Add a new layout( netlist()) block pointing at your second netlist environment. 4) Run nvn on the new RSF (literally "nvn /path/to/svs.rsf"). If you want to LVS all cells, you're done. If you want to LVS a subcell, use rootCell(). -Jay-
