7.2.3 Actel Libraries

The Actel libraries contain models for each Actel core in all Actel families for use in Innoveda. The Actel libraries are sufficient for most cases. For exceptions to using the Actel libraries, see Migration Libraries.

The Powerview software uses a viewdraw.ini file to access the Actel libraries. Actel has provided template viewdraw.ini files in the $ALSDIR/lib/wv/<act_fam> directories that you can use. If you manually add the paths, they must be the first paths specified in the directories section of your viewdraw.ini file.

To access the Actel libraries, add the following lines to your “viewdraw.ini” file:

dir [p] .
dir [rm] $ALSDIR/lib/wv/<act_fam>/cells (ACTELCELLS)
dir [rm] $ALSDIR/lib/wv/smartgen (SMARTGEN)
dir [rm] $ALSDIR/lib/wv/sim (ACTELSIM)
dir [rm] $WDIR/lib/builtin (builtin)

For example, to configure Powerview to use the ACT3 family library, replace <act_fam> with act3 in the lines above.
