Developing the Shell Software

The Shell Software file requirements for a 640-pin Logic model are similar to those for standard Logic Models, and are summarized here. For more information, see the Shell Software Reference Manual.

User-Generated Files

As for all Generic Device Adapters, you must create one or more Shell Software files that contain DUT-specific information, such as pinouts, device names, propagation delays, timing checks.

Files Provided by Synopsys

●The Adapter Mapping (.ADP) file, GEN640.ADP: This file provides signal mapping between the Adapter and the ModelSource modeling system. You should be able to use this file without modification.

●A template Package Mapping (.PKG) file, GEN640.PKG: The .PKG file provides signal mapping between the Daughterboard and the DUT; the template file contains Daughterboard pin names mapped to duplicate pin names, for those pins used for DUT signals. You create the custom .PKG file by editing the template and replacing the duplicate pin names with your DUT pin names.
