Unable to source or read files #50

Closed charumaurya closed 4 years ago

charumaurya commented 4 years ago

Whenever I'm sourcing the examples files, or reading them, with the command OpenSTA> source example1.tcl

I'm getting error : cannot read this file Same while reading

rovinski commented 4 years ago

Is the file in the same directory and does it have read permissions? If yes, please provide more details.

I can't foresee this being an OpenSTA issue. source is a tcl built-in.

@rovinski Hey, thanks! The file was in another directory! My bad. Worked when invoked STA from examples directory. Also, I had one doubt regarding the documentation provided as OpenSTA.pdf I'm unable to execute the commands in the command line interpretor. For eg. My script exam1.tcl contains: read_liberty example1_slow.lib read_verilog example1.v link_design top read_sdf... create_clock -name clk -period 10 {clk1 cl2 clk3} set_input_delay -clock clk 0 {in1 in2} all_registers -clock clk1

Should return the register connected to clk1. But it gives no output.

rovinski commented 4 years ago

Sourced scripts in tcl do not echo output by default. Try this instead:

puts "[all_registers -clock clk1]"

@charumaurya these are tcl issues not OpenSTA issues. Please only file an issue if you can verify there is a bug in OpenSTA itself. If you have help questions please use the OpenROAD Gitter instead.
