Newbie level 5
I have been trying to learn astro for a few weeks now. But I feel its learning curve is too high. Especially trying to prep all the libraries and databases is very confusing.
I feel that it is not as easy to learn as say Encounter or Silicon Ensemble. I think there ought to be an easier method to learn than just following SOLD.
I have a gate-level netlist in verilog, a LEF file, a .db file of the technology library, a .pdb file for the physical library, a constraints file .sdc.
Can somebody provide me some help on how to do just the basic chip tapeout and some basic timing report generations in Astro. I have been trying to work with SOLD, but the messages and warnings generated by Astro are too confusing. Basically, I have been unsuccessful so far.
Hope somebody can help in this.
