4 Example I: GUI Guided Training

Basically, the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER tools can be subdivided into two major parts:

Design Vision: This is the graphical user interface (GUI) on top of the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER. It represents a

convenient way to interact with the compiler. Its main windows are illustrated in Figure 4 and explained in Section 4.1

and Section 4.2.

Design Compiler Shell (DC Shell): The DC Shell is a command-line-like tool, where all compiler commands can be typed

in as within a simple UNIX shell. The so called Tool Command Language (TCL) can be used in order to communicate

with the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER.

This part of the exercise represents a step-by-step example using the graphical user interface of the SYNOPSYS DESIGN

COMPILER. Thus, we will only make use of the Design Vision GUI, but we will come back to the DC Shell later in this

exercise.

4.1 Design Vision - Main Window

Now, let’s start the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER. In order to start the GUI of the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER choose

Design Vision-xg-t from the cockpit and click SYNOPSYS.

This will open a window of the Design Vision GUI. The main window (cf. Figure 4) hosts the Hierarchy Browser, Symbol,

and Schematic Viewer as well as the Console.

The menu bar with primary menus gives you access to commands, attributes, dialog boxes etc. In a second line you’ll ﬁnd

shortcuts to commonly used commands.
