\section openChamsPres Presentation
|
||
|
|
The <b>OpenCHAMS</b> format was developped as a part of the Chams Project (http://www-soc.lip6.fr/recherche/cian/chams/).
|
||
|
|
It aims at offering a convenient way to describe analogic circuits' netlists and is based on XML.
|
||
|
|
Some CHAMS specific informations, such as schematic properties, layout properties or sizing procedure, can be described in this format.\n

\subsection openChamsParser Using the parser
|
||
|
|
Simply load an OPENCHAMS file using the static function OpenChams::Circuit::readFromFile() and then get the netlist object (OpenChams::Circuit::getNetlist()) or the sizing procedure (OpenChams::Circuit::getSizing(), might be NULL) or any other useful information (see OpenChams::Circuit).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection openChamsDriver Using the driver
|
||
|
|
Using the driver is very simple, user has to create a DTR::Techno object and simply add DTR::Rule or DTR::ARule to it.
|
||
|
|
The adding methods return the newly created Rule so user can set the rule type (DTR::Rule::setType()) if necessary. Finally use the DTR::Techno::writeToFile() method to dump the database to file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\section openChamsExamples Examples
|
||
|
|
As said is the global presentation, VLSI SAPD project provides C++ libraries and Python modules for each supported format. In this section we present simple code examples to parse and drive a OPENCHAMS file using C++ or Python. The OPENCHAMS files considered are the same for all examples: \c inverter.xml and \c buffer.xml
|
||
|
|
\include inverter.xml
|
||
|
|
\include buffer.xml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All source codes are available in the \c examples directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection openChamsC C++
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection openChamsParseC Parser
|
||
|
|
The following code (\c parseOpenChams.cpp) is an example of how to parse a OPENCHAMS file using C++ library.
|
||
|
|
\include parseOpenChams.cpp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection openChamsDriveC Driver
|
||
|
|
This C++ code (\c driveOpenChams.cpp) generates an inverter.xml file equivalent to the included one.
|
||
|
|
\include driveOpenChams.cpp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\note In order to compile these codes, a CMakeLists.txt file is provided. User must set the $VLSISAPD_TOP variable before running these commands in the directory containing the CMakeLists.txt file:
|
||
|
|
\code
|
||
|
|
%> mkdir build; cd build
|
||
|
|
%> cmake ..
|
||
|
|
%> make
|
||
|
|
\endcode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection openChamsPython Python
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection openChamsParsePython Parser
|
||
|
|
The following python script (\c parseOpenChams.py) is an example of how to parse a OPENCHAMS file using python module.
|
||
|
|
\include parseOpenChams.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection openChamsDrivePython Driver
|
||
|
|
This python script (\c driveOpenChams.py) generates an inverter.xml file equivalent to the included one.
|
||
|
|
\include driveOpenChams.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\note In order to run these two scripts (\c parseOpenChams.py & driveOpenChams.py), user must ensure that $PYTHONPATH variable points to the directory containing OPENCHAMS.so module.
