RTL Compiler之Example

　　Synthesis　=　Translation +  Logic Optimization + Mapping

　　

Step 1　　Source files

　1)　make directory

mkdir    Lab
cd       Lab
mkdir    HDL
cd       HDL

　2)　Verilog code

// --------- Full Adder -----------------
module fulladder(sum, c_out, x, y, c_in);
    output  sum, c_out;
    input  x, y, c_in;
    
    wire a, b, c;
    
    xor(a, x, y);
    xor(sum, a, c_in);    
    and(b, x, y);
    and(c, a, c_in);
    or(c_out, c, b);

endmodule

// ------- 4-Bit Adder ---------------------
module  FourBitAdder(sum, c_out, x, y, c_in);
    output [3:0] sum;
    output c_out;
    input  [3:0] x, y;
    input c_in;
    wire c1,c2,c3;

    fulladder fa0(sum[0], c1, x[0], y[0], c_in);
    fulladder fa1(sum[1], c2, x[1], y[1], c1);
    fulladder fa2(sum[2], c3, x[2], y[2], c2);
    fulladder fa3(sum[3], c_out, x[3], y[3], c3);

endmodule

Step 2　　Invoke RTL Compiler

rc    -gui

Step 3　　Setting the lib

# This tells the compiler where to look for the libraries 
set_attribute lib_search_path 
/home/cadence/ic-6.1.0/tools.lnx86/dfII/local/ncsu-cdk-1.6.0.bet
a/lib/tsmc025/signalstorm 
 
# This defines the libraries to use
set_attribute library {osu025_stdcells.lib}

 　　This step I got the following messages: (maybe the osu025 library is not configured correctly)

　　　　Could not find an attribute in the library. [LBR-436]: 101

　　　　Missing library level attribute. [LBR-516]: 1

Step 4　　Read and Elaborate RTL

# This must point to your VHDL/verilog file 
read_hdl ../HDL/FourBitAdder.v 
# Elaborate your top-level module 
set DESIGN     "FourBitAdder" 
elaborate $DESIGN 

Step 5　　Apply Constraints

　　Since the design is a very simple, we only set the some operating conditions, for example:

# Setting constraints 
set_attribute wireload_mode enclosed 　　　　　　# Use the default wireload operaqtion mode
set_attribute max_dynamic_power 0.0 $DESIGN 　　# Restrict RC to optimise for dynamic and leakage power
set_attribute max_leakage_power 0.0 $DESIGN

Step 6　　Synthesize/Compile

# This synthesizes your design
set  MAP_EFF  high
synthesize  -to_mapped  -eff  $MAP_EFF  -no_incr

# This section writes the mapped design and sdc file 
# THESE FILES YOU WILL NEED THEM WHEN SETTING UP THE PLACE & ROUTE 
write -mapped > ${DESIGN}_synth.v 
write_sdc > ${DESIGN}.sdc 

Step 7　　Analyze Timing and Power

# report and analyze power and timing  
report power        > ${DESIGN}.power.rpt 
report timing       > ${DESIGN}.timing.rpt 

Step 8　　Exit

# exit
exit
