spect2el Command Reference
0
The converter parses the conditional statement as is (default).
1
The converter uses keyword eval in the conversion (pre-2008.2 behavior).
2
The converter uses keyword valif in the conversion.
• -use_database 2|1|0
0
Disables this argument. Set to 0 if the user’s home directory quota is reached, to
deactivate the database creation.
1
Default. Enables you to make use of a library that has been converted before and is
included in your netlist instead of having to convert it again for each design or for
each time you modify your design. This is achieved by saving a database for the
library when it is first converted, and then reading this database later to convert the
netlists using this library. The converter checks for every file if it has an entry in this
database or not. If a file has an entry it is not converted but retrieved from the
database instead. Otherwise, if the file does not have an entry in the database (or is
more recent than the entry), this file is converted and saved to the database. The
database is created in your home directory with the minimum needed size.
Unmodified files are copied from the last path they were converted to.
2
The outer level included files are not converted to the external_files directory. Netlist
include statements with those files specified point directly to the pre-converted files.
It is important to ensure that these outer level files have previously been converted,
otherwise the files are converted and written to the external_files directory.
Note
Spectre to Eldo requires enough disk space on the user’s home area to save the
database.
• -clr_database 1|0
If set to 1, enables you to remove the database of converted libraries. Note that this option
removes all databases at once. Default is 0 (not set).
• -sp_plot 2|1|0
Controls the conversion of Spectre save statements into Eldo .PRINT, .PLOT and .PROBE
commands as below:
0
The save statement is converted into .PRINT (default).
