   9 # HiTAS -- Static Timing Analyser
  10
  11 "HiTas is a static timing analysis tool. Its strength lies in its transparent
  12 hierarchical approach combined with the ability to perform analysis at the
  13 transistor-level, cell-level or a mixture of the two."

  16 ## Installation instructions
  17
  18 NOTE: These are required to setup a new chroot, copy over the devscript repo,
  19 and make sure the new chroot has all the necessary packages.
  20
  21 1. ./mk-deb-chroot tasyagle
  22 1. ./cp-scripts-to-chroot tasyagle
  23 1. (tasyagle) ./install-hdl-apt-reqs
  24
  25 1. (tasyagle) ./tasyagle-install
  26
  27 The binaries are installed to /usr/local/bin
  28
  29 Run "xtas" to launch the GUI for the timing analyzer.

  33 ## Documentation
  34
  35 The documentation for HiTAS and Yagle is extensive, and is compiled by the
  36 "tasyagle-install" script. You'll find the HTML and PDF documents under these
  37 directories:
  38
  39 * distrib/docxml2/compiled/dochtml
  40 * distrib/docxml2/compiled/docpdf

  46 ## Tutorials
  47
  48 **NOTE:** The AVERTEC_TOP and PATH variables must be loaded using "source ~/.bashrc" before trying run these examples!
  49
  50 The tutorial files are located in the following directories:
  51
  52 * distrib/share/tutorials/hitas
  53 * distrib/share/tutorials/yagle
  54 * distrib/share/tutorials/yagle_gns
  55
  56 One of the basic examples, a CMOS inverter, located under 'hitas/inv',
  57 shows the setup tcl script 'db.tcl' and SPICE file defining the inverter
  58 'inv.spi'.
  59
  60 To run the inverter example, cd into the 'inv' directory and run:
  61
  62 * ./db.tcl
