1. Setup PRIMETIME
2. mrgnet
3. pt_shell
First, we want to make sure the mrgnet2 is compatible and can run with our cell. We first open the file, and look for the name of our cell to be inside the if-statement. Save mrgnet2.
Next we need to combine our netlist of the design into a single netlist file that can be used by PRIMETIME.
In your standardcell directory type the following:
perl mrgnet2 -rundir design.run1 -out design
We have to open the output file design to check if its name is the same as the top module name in the file. This is IMPORTANT!
The file looks as follows:
We verify that the top module name is the same. If it is not the same, we have to change our file name.
