How to interface Dracula with Tanner L-Edit.

[krrao]

Hi All,

I am using Tanner L-Edit for Layouts and Cadenc's Dracula for the verification. Can anybody can help me out in how to interface the Dracula with Tanner.

Tanner works in Windows & Dracula in Linux.

Pls if any body can provide me the detailed step by step procedure on verifiying (DRC, LVS) the Tanner layout in Dracula.

If anybody can help me out in this regard this would be a great help for me.

Hi rao,
baically you are having two different operating systems with which Tanner and dracula works.
Theoritically it is not possibel to interface cross platform softwares. If it is simpe windows application, it can run in linux using WINE utility. But tanner being a EDA tool it is not possible to do so.The best way left out is to manually translate either way using built in translators to do the verification.

cheers

You may need to export the layout into GDS format and then import it to Virtuoso or run Dracula. You can also import Dracula rule file into Tanner/LEDIT and run DRC insite Tanner.
