rules file magma lef convert

MAGMA uses .volcano libraries. You can convert your SCell, I/O and Macro
libraries into .volcano. You need .lib and LEF of them or you may use
also GDS instead of LEF. Usualy you may wish to convert LEF into MTcl
(MAGMAs´ Tcl extension) add or modify some rules and set them into
separate <your_sc_lib>.volcano. In case of I/O or Macro cells you just need to reference technology rules from the <your_sc_lib>.volcano.
Adding information for the noise analysis requires additional effort.
Look into Overview and learn the data model, then look the chapter about
creating libraries.
I hope it helps

Re: Magma's Library?

hi stocking,
here is the mtcl commands for volcano preparation:

for stdcell:
import lib -lib "libname" ".lib file location"
set l /"libname"
import lef rule "rule file location" -rule_file "rule file name.tcl"
source "rule file name.tcl"
import lef cell -lib $l "lef file location"
run prepare lib $l
run prepare routability $l

for io :
follow the same as above but do not do run prepare routability.
