• Setup Tutorial

0. Cadence can only run on the unix machines at USC (e.g., aludra). You will need to XTERM into these machines to run the tools.

1. Make sure you have "source ~ee577/577a.setup" entry in your .cshrc or .login file.

2. Create "cds" directory at your home directory.

%mkdir cds

3. Copy cadence.tar file from ~ee577/ee577bb/cad/ to the "cds" directory you just created.

%cp ~ee577/ee577bb/cad/cadence.tar ~/cds

4. Unpack the file.

%cd ~/cds
%tar -xvf cadence.tar
 
5. Make sure the following files are located at your cds directory.
.cdsinit        // cadence initialized file
.cdsplotinit    // cadence printing setup file
cds.lib         // cadence library setup file
schBindKeys.il
 
6. Make sure you can run cadence tool by typing.
%which icfb
/usr/usc/cadence/2001/IC/4.46/tools/dfII/bin/icfb
 
7. Always invoke "icfb" in your ~/cds directory because all setup files are in this directory.

Comment: In case that the tools are not working properly try to run at the command line the 'source ~ee577/577a.setup'.
