Hi all, I have the pleasure of releasing the first (alpha) version of a small command line tool named GDSread. As the name implies, GDS read is able to read a Calma GDS stream file and output an ASCII listing of the binary records in the GDS file. Furthermore, GDSread may do database scaling and/or cell name replacement. GDSread is licensed under GNU v3+. Please observe the usage, functionality & warranty disclaimers. GDSread is written in Free Pascal and therefore easy to read and modify. GDSread...

Hi all, It is a pleasure to announce the beta release of ePnR (0.9.0) - a simple standard cell placer & router tool for small to medium size Integrated Circuit (IC) blocks. ePnR is pretty straightforward to use. I hope it can prove useful in some contexts. Be aware, it is a beta release and likely a number of bugs are still to be found and fixed. If you want me to pre-compile for other OS platforms/architectures, address shortcomings and bugs - or simply guide you in the use of ePnR, write a ticket...

Hi all, It is a pleasure to announce the first bug fix release of ePnR (0.8.1) - a simple standard cell placer & router tool for small to medium size Integrated Circuit (IC) blocks. ePnR is pretty straightforward to use. I hope it can prove useful in some contexts. Be aware, it is an alpha release and likely a number of bugs are still to be found and fixed.

Hi all, It is a pleasure to announce the very first release of ePnR - a simple standard cell placer & router tool for small to medium size Integrated Circuit (IC) blocks. ePnR is pretty straightforward to use. I hope it can prove useful in some contexts. Be aware, it is an alpha release and likely a number of bugs are yet to be found and fixed. If you want me to address shortcomings and bugs - or simply guide you in the use of ePnR, write a ticket or file a discussion topic. I'll try to respond the...

Hi, eLogSim 3.0.6 is a minor update of 3.0.5, with the following characteristics: • New primitive: DFFRS (D flip-flop w/ set & reset) • Minor bug fixes e.g. in netlist readin • Updates to manual Otherwise, performance and behavior of version 3.0.6 is identical to 3.0.5 and all input files can be used w/o modifications. FOR THE IMPATIENT: If you have installed a previous eLogSim release the prescribed way, you can fast-track the 3.0.6 update to your pc: a) Download the distribution zip file MyeLogSim_305.zip...

Hi, eLogSim 3.0.5 is a medium size update of 3.0.4, with the following characteristics: • Major rewrite of event handling for improved handling of net drive collision & improved speed (~4x reduction of simulation time in Test23 !) • New command line option -sort to allow alphanumeric sorting of components & nets in log file • Several minor bug fixes • 10 more demo examples (now 35) • Updates to manual Otherwise, performance and behavior of version 3.0.5 is identical to 3.0.4 and all input files can...

Hi, eLogSim 3.0.4 is a minor update of 3.0.3, with the following characteristics: Circuit title in header Error message for missing essential statements in .lib, .cir and .pat files Updates to manual Otherwise, performance and behavior of version 3.0.4 is identical to 3.0.3 and all input files can be used w/o modifications. If you are happy with 3.0.3, no particular strong reason to update to 3.0.4. FOR THE IMPATIENT: If you have installed a previous eLogSim releases the prescribed way, you can fast-track...
