Eldo Premier
Eldo Premier Output
Eldo Premier Output
Normal Eldo commands are used to plot and/or probe signals. It supports the same waveform
output formats as Eldo, with .wdb being the default.
The simulation results of Eldo Premier are output to the .chi file in the same way as Eldo
Classic. It can also produce the usual Eldo output files, including .aex, .mt0, and so on; any postprocessing
scripts written for Eldo can be reused without modification.
Some Eldo Premier notes are generated in the transcript and .chi file providing information
about the simulation and flow:
• Parsing
• Generation
• Elaboration
• Solver generation
• DC
• Transient

Temporary Files
To help speed up successive runs, Eldo Premier generates some specific temporary directories
and files:
• .res directory
Resolution library. Contains information to help speed-up the elaboration of the circuit
before simulation. Some resources in the .res directory are reused for consecutive
simulation runs of the same—or slightly modified—netlist, enabling a significant
reduction in elaboration time.
• .hbp file
Contains information related to the hierarchy structure of the design. The information is
reused for consecutive simulation runs of the same—or slightly modified—netlist,
enabling a significant reduction in elaboration time.
Eldo Premier simulations can sometimes generate huge temporary directories; it can be useful
to store output results and temporary files in different locations. To define the location where
Eldo Premier temporary files are generated, specify command line argument -tmpoutpath. By
