Description

(Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL) Registers PDK-specific instance parameters, environment variables, custom constraint registration procedures, fill instance parameters, and Modgen dummy parameters that must be honored while running each step of the automated placement and routing flow.

Arguments

t_pdkName
	Name of the PDK for which parameters are to be registered.
`?paramList` l_paramsList
	A list of master cellview names and their CDF parameters. The parameters are set on instances of the master in the given design after generating layout instances from the schematic. Either specify `?paramList` or `?paramFunc`. If both are specified, `?paramFunc` is honored.
`?paramFunc` s_paramFunc
	A symbol of a function that returns a list of CDF parameter key-value pairs to be set. The function argument must be a layout instance that can be used to determine the parameter settings to return. Either specify `?paramList` or `?paramFunc`. `?paramList` allows specification of CDF parameters based on the instance cell name, whereas `?paramFunc` allows specification of CDF parameters based on any instance data. If both arguments are specified, `?paramFunc` is honored.
`?cdsEnvs` l_cdsEnvars
	A list of environment variables to be set at the start of the automated placement and routing flow.
`?regFile` t_regFile
	Path to the text file that contains the procedure to register different device types.
`?fillParams` l_fillParams
	A list of master names and their fill parameters to be set during the dummy fill generation step.
`?modgenDummyParams` l_ModgenDummyParams
	A list of Modgen dummy names and their parameters to be set during the dummy generation step.

Value Returned

`t`	The PDK-specific parameters were registered.
`nil`	The command was unsuccessful.

Examples

Registers instance parameters, environment variables, custom constraint registration procedures, and fill instances parameters for a customized PDK. These parameters are honored in different steps of the automated placement and routing flow.
