Cadence setup for pollux machine (CSE graduate student's server)
Before using any of the tools, you must have an account on the Engineering
Sun system. If you don't have one, you may request it in room 114 Bell Hall.
Usually, accounts become active a couple of days after applying for them.
- Once your account
is setup, copy the following file into your home cshrc_cds05
- Copy the file cds.lib into your home to set library paths.
- Copy the files .cdsinit .cdsenv into your
home directory.
The cshrc_cds05 files can be placed in any any directory as long as
it is sourced before cadence is started up. The cds.lib file goes to the
directory where cadence is started from. - Source this file by adding the following
line in your .cshrc file
source cshrc_cds05- Then we need to source .cshrc file
by typing in
source .cshrc at the unix prompt, or you need to log out from
the system and log in again, so that the updated .cshrc file will be sourced.
- To see
if the setup has been done properly, just type
which icfb
at the unix prompt.-
