  IBM Design Kit Install Utility

  This shell script installs IBM Design Kits from a directory containing
  the distribution files to a specified destination directory .

  Enter your installation path up to but not including IBM_PDK: 
  /net/sw/mosis

  This package contains components or add-ons for any base release (V1.5.0.x).

  The distribution files are located in: /net/sw/mosis/downloads/CMRF8SF_DM_Assura_QRC
  Enter Yes or No (y|n): y

  No  "rel" symbolic link was found.  Do you want to create
  the "rel" symbolic link to point to V1.5.0.0DM (useful for PATH
  statements)? This is optional.

  You have a kit with an option.  Would you like the symbolic
  link recognizable as "relDM" and NOT "rel" : 
  Enter Yes or No (y|n): y

All the mosis files are usually installed in /net/sw/mosis/IBM_PDK. So, for version 7WL, the files are in /net/sw/mosis/IBM_PDK/bicmos7wl. In that directory, there is a directory called:

V1.5.0.4DM/cdslib/examples

I made a tarfile of these example files, called new_workarea.tar and put in here:

/net/sw/mosis/IBM_PDK/bicmos7wl/V1.5.0.4DM/new_workarea.tar

Extract this file to whatever the working directory should be. Also, copy the display.drf file from /net/sw/mosis/IBM_PDK/bicmos7wl/V1.5.0.4DM/cdslib/bicmos7wl to the working directory.

Environment variables:

AMSPath=__install_dir__/IBM_PDK
setenv SPECTRE_DEFAULTS -E
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog

Must put a copy of display.drf in the run directory or all layers will appear yellow. Use $AMSPath/bicmos8hp/V1.0.3.3HP/cdslib/bicmos8hp/display.drf

Sample .cdsenv file is found in $AMSPath/bicmos8hp/V1.0.3.3HP/cdslib/examples/.cdsenv Cadence always reads the .cdsenv file from the current working directory. If want to set things up somewhere else, use CDS_LOAD_ENV=CSF and put locations in setup.loc in __toolname__/.cdsenv

Copy the $AMSPath/bicmos8hp/V1.0.3.3HP/cdslib/examples/.cdsinit to the user’s home directory. This will put the IBM_PDK menu choice on the icms window and will setup keybindings.
