2. Preparation
  1. Before running Quickfault II, you have to create a gate level design schematic. In this tutorial, we are using the verilog design ud_counter.v. The file is located in the directory /applications/webserver/docs/mentortu. Synthesize your design with Autologic by using CMOSN 1.2 micron worst Technology. After mapping your design in Autologic, save your design as an Eddm netlist. For further information on this part, please see the Autologic tutorial.
  2. Create the Design viewpoint for your design. To invoke Design Viewpoint enter the following command at the shell prompt.
  3. $ cmosn_dve &

    The dve window will open as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2
  1. Select OPEN VPT from the setup palette and navigate to your design. If you are having trouble finding your design. Go to the shell and type in the Unix command
  2. $ env | grep MGC_WD

    This will tell you where your working directory is for Mentor Graphics. Navigate to that directory and select UD_COUNTER.

Figure 3
  1. From the main menu bar, select SETUP> CMOSN SIMULATION. A popup menu will appear as shown in Figure 4. Make sure that the Technology is 1.2 - Worst. and click OK.
Figure 4
  1. From the main menu bar, select SETUP > (QUICK)SIM, FAULT, PATH and GRADE. Once this command has been completed, you should see something similar to the window shown in Figure 5
  2. Figure 5
  3. From the file menu, select FILE > SAVE DESIGN VIEWPOINT. You should see the message Viewpoint default is saved at the bottom of the mentor screen.
  4. Close the Design Viewpoint window.
