Eldo Initialization File
Input for: Eldo system initialization
The eldo.ini file is the default initialization file containing some configuration options always
used for simulation. You can create an Eldo system initialization file to specify library paths and
simulator settings for inclusion in the .cir netlist file.
This Eldo initialization file is interpreted and loaded at the beginning of each simulation.
“Loading eldo.ini” is displayed whenever a valid eldo.ini file is found.
The search order is:
• Path specified by the environment variable $ELDO_INI_FILE_PATH.
• Current directory.
• $HOME directory.
Specifying the command line argument -noinit disables the loading of the eldo.ini file.
Format
• The beginning of each parameter block section is defined between brackets [].
• There is no mandatory order of the parameter blocks.
Parameters
The eldo.ini initialization file is organized into the following blocks:
• [env]
Contains the definition of environment variables.
• [argu]
Contains command line arguments, interpreted before any Eldo command line arguments,
Eldo command line arguments have higher priority.
• [netlist]
Contains netlist commands, interpreted as if they had been included in the netlist with a
.INCLUDE command.
• [include]
Contains include files. Multiple configuration files listed in this section are included. Only
one file per line is allowed. These files must use standard eldo.ini syntax and can themselves
define other [include] sections. An error is displayed if a recursive inclusion is detected. At
runtime, for each type of section, Eldo loads the corresponding sections from the files listed
in the [include] block, and appends the content of the current section at the end.
Examples
A typical eldo.ini file may look like:
