NTU 6341 / EECS 141 Digital Integrated Circuits Fall 2007 Software |
Accessing HSPICE from Berkeley: You will need the "ssh" command to login to our UNIX systems (UNIX computers usually have "ssh"). Download SSH for free from http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/download-ssh.html. You will also see some help references when you login. Available servers: {cory, quasar, pulsar, cs199}.eecs.berkeley.edu. HSPICE can be run from the command line, and results are available in table (text) format. In this mode, you can generate your graphs and do post-processing from your software of choice (Matlab, Excel, etc). If you want to view the waveforms using the HSPICE “awaves” package, you need an X-Window manager. This is straightforward in UNIX systems but not installed in Microsoft Windows. Alternatives if you do not have an X-Window Manager in your Microsoft Windows environment: · Register at http://connectivity.hummingbird.com/products/nc/resources.html and download the 30-day free evaluation copy of “Exceed” · Purchase it from http://www.dcsi.com/Hummingbird.asp (about $390) · Ask your sponsoring program to purchase it · Run Linux or MacOSX (which have X-Windows) instead of Microsoft Windows · On Windows, install Cygwin/X (free from http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/) See also: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/share/b/pub/pdf/SSH_EXCEED.pdf
