Calibre Tool Integrated into Cadence Menu
Some engineers get used to use Calibre to do DRC/LVS/PEX. In order to use the Calibre tools, the integration process is necessary in Cadence ".cdsinit" file.
Please put the following codes in the end of ".cdsinit" file, which is located in the Cadence design project folder.
> Open a terminal in Unix to " echo $MGC_HOME " to check the Calibre installation directory is correct.
```
;; ---------------------------------------------------------------
;; Calibre setup
;; Load Calibre Skill Interface if environment var is set
mgc_home=getShellEnvVar("MGC_HOME")
if( mgc_home!=nil && isDir(mgc_home) && isReadable(mgc_home) then
; Load calibre.skl for Cadence versions 4.4 and greater
load(strcat(mgc_home "/shared/pkgs/icv/tools/queryskl/calibre.skl"))
else
; MGC_HOME is not set
printf("Calibre Skill Interface not loaded.\n")
)
;; End of Calibre Skill Interface
