[SUPPORT] Running OCEAN Scripts using Skillbridge #220

Closed rdiciro closed 1 year ago

rdiciro commented 1 year ago

I am trying to use skillbridge so that I can use OCEAN commands from a python environment and create simulations of circuits. I have never used python and am not experienced with OCEAN scripts. I've seen previous issues about people trying to do the same thing and I've tried recreating what they have done, but it does not work for me. I believe the methods that they used have been updated to make it easier, but with my inexperience I am completely lost on how to continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rdiciro,

skillbridge is a tool that requires knowledge of Python and SKILL/OCEAN.

To get started with python take a look at the official tutorial. You won't need the advanced sections, just the basic types, function and control structures.

For SKILL you probably need a support account at cadence. And here is the OCEAN reference.

Unfortunately we cannot really help you create the OCEAN scripts. However if you have a specific question on how to use skillbridge to translate your SKILL/OCEAN to Python - feel free to contact us here.

Our skillbridge documentation can be found here.
