5 years ago Since you seem to understand redirection for output maybe you should try it for input. Note that ";" separates tcl commands. You can make your dreams come true trivially:
echo "read_liberty -max ${SYNTH.EARLY.LIB}; read_liberty -min ${SYNTH.LATE.LIB}"; read_verilog ${VLOG.GATE.NET http://vlog.gate.net/}"; link_design ${VLOG.GATE.TOP};report_checks" | sta > report_file
I detected evidence of brain damaged liberty files missing one of hold or setup checks based on IBM standards unfortunately propagated by tau contest examples. Make sure your early/late libraries have both setup and hold checks in them per S company protocol.

Sigh - I found the -x command line argument quite useful. I used to use it to construct an sta call from variables in my make file.
Now I have to first of all create a command script, and then invoke sta with that script (not forgetting -exit of course .. as if I would ..)
In my dreams, I would have a '-x' argument that worked multiple times, so that I could do something like
sta -exit > report-file -x "read_liberty -max ${SYNTH.EARLY.LIB}" -x "read_liberty -min ${SYNTH.LATE.LIB}" -x "read_verilog ${VLOG.GATE.NET}" -x "link_design ${VLOG.GATE.TOP}" -x "report_checks"
.. where SYNTH.EARLY.LIB is a make variable, set elsewhere. Yosys has an argument like this, the -p option.
Of course, I can survive without this using a script generation technique, so it's not a showstopper.
