Cad Wiki for Analog IC Courses

Login to the ENGR server ece410.engr.uidaho.edu using X2Go Client.

1) Goto your work directory. Better create a new directory for every course.

cd
mkdir ece517
cd ece517

2) Save backups of files

cp .cdsinit  .cdsinit_bkp 
cp cds.lib  cds.lib_bkp 

3) Merge the cds.lib file from (/home/vsaxena/pdk/ncsu-cdk-1.6.0.beta/cds.lib) with your existing cds.lib in the directory. This is equivalent to copying the following entries (note that CDK_DIR variable should be defined as in the first line below):

# NCSU Design Kit Path
CDK_DIR = "/home/vsaxena/pdk/ncsu-cdk-1.6.0.beta"

# Include basic Spectre and Verilog-A libraries
DEFINE basic    $CDSDIR/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/basic
