Homework 3 - Important Enviroment Update


  1. We are switching from Magic 6.5 to Magic 7.1!Update your script file ASAP. Copy file /user3/ee355/.cshrc to your homedirectory by command:
    cp   /user3/ee355/.cshrc   ~/.cshrc
    Please close this terminal, open another one to enable new enviroment settings. You cannot use the old settings to do you homework 3!
  2. Magic 7.1 has some new features, for example, you can not use key "q" "w" "e" "r" to move selected blocks any more. Instead, try this:
    select a block you are going to move -> click your mouse at the destination pointin in magic window -> press "m".
    In magic type ": help macro" to get shortcut information.
  3. We are using scmos1_2u.prm technology file for irsim. Run irsim by
    irsim   ~ee355/scmos1_2u.prm   your_sim_file.sim
    or its alias "ir" by
    ir   your_sim_file.sim
  4. I set "magic" as the alias of 'magic -T SCN3M.50'. Don't change your .cshrc file unless you know exactly what you are doing. Typeing command "which magic" to check this alias.
  5. Don't use bash. If you don't like csh, try tcsh.
  6. Standard Cell Library is in "/user3/ee355/stdcell". Documents are in the same directory.
