ReadSilModel:
PROC [name: Rope.ROPE]
RETURNS [design: CD.Design ← NIL];
Reads a file containing a Sil model and makes it avalilable as a Chipndale design 'silDesign' with specific cells 'silDesignCells'.
ReadSilLibrary:
PROC [library: LibraryFile]
RETURNS [cells: CD.Design ← NIL]
Reads all macros from a macro disk file and stores them into the Chipndale cells. The design 'cells' additionally contains a synopsis of the cells it contains. For normal usage, 'cells' is not needed. The libraries are stored onto disk using the names specified in the user profile as follows:
Chipndale.chipnsil.Library5: Rope.ROPE ← "SilLib5.dale"
Chipndale.chipnsil.Library6: Rope.ROPE ← "SilLib6.dale"
Chipndale.chipnsil.Library7: Rope.ROPE ← "SilLib7.dale"
Chipndale.chipnsil.Library8: Rope.ROPE ← "SilLib8.dale"
Chipndale.chipnsil.Library9: Rope.ROPE ← "SilLib9.dale"
END.
