Location Maps
Location Maps
Location maps are used to replace prefixes of physical pathnames with environment variables
(soft pathnames). The location map defines a mapping between physical pathname prefixes and
environment variables. Pyxis users can benefit from this functionality to run Eldo directly on an
Pyxis generated netlist.
By default, Eldo searches for a location map file in the following locations, in order:
• The filename specified by option USE_LOCATION_MAP in the .cir file, if not found
Eldo displays a warning message.
• The path stored in the environment variable $MGC_LOCATION_MAP.
• The netlist directory (./mgc_location_map).
• Your home directory (~/mgc_location_map).
When option USE_LOCATION_MAP is specified, a warning message is displayed if Eldo
does not find a location map file. When option USE_LOCATION_MAP is not specified, no
warning message is displayed by Eldo.
You can disable the load of the location map file by specifying the -ignore_location_map
command line argument or specifying the option IGNORE_LOCATION_MAP in the netlist.
