# Example shell (bash, zsh or csh) script to compile all HDL design files
# into a binary (ZDB) database to be used with the Altair Engineering, Inc.
# Vision platform.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# In the binary directory (linux64 or win64) of the Vision platform package
# you can find binaries names *2zdb. These are batch mode compiler to be used
# within a shell script or Makefile based flow.
#
# Every parser supports the option -o <binfile> which can be used as the input
# with the command line option -binlib <binfile> for the next parser to
# support either incremental compilation or mix different design languages
# like RTL, Netlists and SPICE.
#
# Either use the option -help to get a list of all possible options or see
# doc/parser/*parser.html for a more detailed description of the parser
# options.
# =============================================================================
##
# Read Liberty
# ------------
# The Liberty parser can render nice symbol shapes based on the Boolean
# equation at the output port function.
# In addition the clock cell and clock port information is extracted from the
# Liberty file(s). This is essential for running clock tree related API script
# on netlist files.
#
liberty2zdb -o liberty.zdb "OPTIONS" "FILE(S)"
##
# Read Verilog Netlist
# --------------------
# For performance reasons we provide a special Verilog netlist parser.
# This parser supports the Verilog IEEE-1364-1995 standard (aka. structural
# Verilog).
#
verilog2zdb -o netlist.zdb -binlib liberty.zdb "OPTIONS" "FILE(S)"
##
# Read RTL Verilog and/or VHDL
# ----------------------------
# The RTL parser fully supports all versions of Verilog (including System
# Verilog and Verilog AMS) as well as all flavors of VHDL.
#
rtl2zdb -o design.zdb -binlib netlist.zdb "OPTIONS" "FILE(S)"
##
# Invoke the GUI
# --------------
# Now the final design is stored in the file design.zdb and can be used
# as the input for the GUI to view, navigate, analyze the design.
#
starvisionpro -binfile design.zdb -userware apiScript.tcl
##
# Run starsh (batch mode)
# -----------------------
# The design.zdb binfile can also be used as the input to the batch tool
# starsh to run custom code to analyze the design data, create reports etc.

starsh apiScript.tcl design.zdb "OPTIONS"
