Re: lef import

Hello Vjayakrishna

The correct command syntax for the Laker Products "LefIn" command is shown below.

Are you getting any error messages at all in the shell window?
Are there any suspicious messages in the .err and/or .log files?
Can you try just limiting the LEF file to just one cell to see what happens?
Which version of Laker are you using?

Usage LefIn : % LefIn [option] inputFile
    -h                                  : Print out the usage.
    -t techFile                         : Use ASCII technology file to create a new library.
    -techLib libName                    : Use an existed library's technology file to create a new library.
    -cellList cellList                  : Only convert top cell(s) to library.
    -cellFile cellFile                  : Only convert top cell(s) which in topCellFile to library.
    -cellMapFile cellMapFile            : Specify cell-mapping table.
    -snap                               : Snap vertices to minimum grid resolution.
    -pinText [-H textHeight]            : Create pin name as text, and specify text height for pin name.
    -pinTextLayer layerName purposeName : Create pin name as text, and specify layer for pin name.
    -log logErrFileName                 : Specify the filename for log / error file
                                          (automatically add .log / .err as extension).
    -layerMap layerMapFile              : Specify layer-mapping table.
    -noOverwrite                        : Preserve / append duplicated information.
    -o outputLibName                    : Specify the output Laker library name.
    inputLEFFileName                    : Specify the input LEF file name.

Examples :
    % LefIn -o LIB demo.lef             # Input (demo.lef) LEF file to (LIB) library.
    % LefIn -o LIB -t demo.tf demo.lef  # Input (demo.lef) LEF file with (demo.tf) techFile to (LIB) library.
    % LefIn -o LIB -t demo.tf -pinText -H 0.8 demo.lef  #Create Text for Pins on the Pin Layer

Re: lef import

I used this below comand, but i am unable to import the lef

LefIn -o lef4 -log err -cellList CC0P8500LDO65LP CC0P8500LDO65LP.lef -pinText -H 10 -pinTextLayer M3 drawing

later i imported the lef from GUI, from the generated log file I found the below comand

LefIn -64 -o lef21 -PinText -pinTextHeight 10 /tmp/CC0P8500LDO65LP.lef

with this comand once again I exported, I got the result what i want.

what wrong with the first command?

laker version is L3
