Mentor Graphics: Getting Started

XACT 5.x Setup

In this example, The XACT 5.x Core Tools (DS502) have been installed for SunOS 4.1.x in /tools/xact521/ds502. The Mentor Graphics Interface (DS344) has been installed in /tools/xact521/ds344. The Mentor Graphics vendor software (where Design Manager and Design Architect are located) has been installed in /tools/mentorA.4. Please substitute the appropriate directory paths that apply to your own system. Also, if you are running the tools on HP-UX 9.x or 10.x, please substitute hppa for sparc where appropriate.

To run XACT 5.x software with the Mentor Graphics Interface, the following environment variables must be set:

setenv LCA /tools/xact521/ds344
setenv XACT ${LCA}:/tools/xact521/ds502
set path = ( $path \
   $LCA/com/sparc $LCA/bin/sparc \
   /tools/xact/ds502/com/sparc )

In addition, the following variables must be set for the Mentor Graphics third-party software. Consult the appropriate Mentor Graphics documentation for more information.

setenv MGC_HOME /tools/mentorA.4
setenv MGC_GENLIB $MGC_HOME/gen_lib
setenv MGC_LOCATION_MAP /usr/local/data/mentor/mgc_location_map
setenv MGLS_LICENSE_FILE /usr/local/data/license/mentor_license.dat
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $MGC_HOME/shared/lib:$MGC_HOME/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
set path = ( $path $MGC_HOME/bin )

# MGC_LOCATION_MAP: Substitute path to MGC location map.
# MGLS_LICENSE_FILE: Substitute path to FlexLM-format license file.
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Remove /usr/openwin/lib for HP-UX.
#    For HP-UX 10.x, use SHLIB_PATH variable instead.

In addition, the LCA and MGC_GENLIB environment variables must be added to the file referenced by $MGC_LOCATION_MAP so that the Mentor Graphics Software can recognize them. A location-map file may look like:

MGC_LOCATION_MAP_1

$LCA

$MGC_GENLIB

Consult the Mentor Graphics documentation for more information on location maps.

M1 (Beta and Pre-Release) Setup

In this example, The Xilinx M1 Core Tools have been installed for Solaris 2.5 in /tools/xilinxM1. The Mentor Graphics Interface is part of the Xilinx M1 tree under $XILINX/mentor. The Mentor Graphics vendor software (where Design Manager and Design Architect are located) has been installed in /tools/mentorB.1. Please substitute the appropriate directory paths that apply to your own system. Also, if you are running the tools under HP-UX or SunOS 4.1.x, please substitute hp or sun for sol where appropriate.

To run Xilinx M1 software with the Mentor Graphics Interface, the following environment variables must be set:

setenv XILINX /tools/xilinxM1
setenv LCA $XILINX/mentor/data
setenv SIMPRIMS $LCA/simprims
set path = ( $path $XILINX/mentor/bin/sol $XILINX/bin/sol )

In addition, the following variables must be set for the Mentor Graphics third-party software. Consult the appropriate Mentor Graphics documentation for more information.

setenv MGC_HOME /tools/mentorB.1
setenv MGC_GENLIB $MGC_HOME/gen_lib
setenv MGC_LOCATION_MAP /usr/local/data/mentor/mgc_location_map
setenv MGLS_LICENSE_FILE /usr/local/data/license/mentor_license.dat
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $MGC_HOME/shared/lib:$MGC_HOME/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
set path = ( $path $MGC_HOME/bin )

# MGC_LOCATION_MAP: Substitute path to MGC location map.
# MGLS_LICENSE_FILE: Substitute path to FlexLM-format license file.
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Remove /usr/openwin/lib for HP-UX.
#    For HP-UX 10.x, use SHLIB_PATH variable instead.

In addition, the LCA, SIMPRIMS, and MGC_GENLIB environment variables must be added to the file referenced by $MGC_LOCATION_MAP so that the Mentor Graphics Software can recognize them. A location-map file may look like:

MGC_LOCATION_MAP_1

$LCA

$SIMPRIMS

$MGC_GENLIB
