Q1) According to Cadence 5X directory structure, the organization of circuit database follows the format
as shown below
Library -> Cell -> View -> files
But due to some mistakes the database we got for AIP project is in structure different from cadence
5X structure. The directory structure of the database we got is as follows
View -> Library -> Cell -> files
Additionally, the database includes an Information directory. This directory contains files with details
about team members, such as their usernames, VNC IDs, and email IDs. The file names in this directory
start with the library name, indicating which IP the data belongs to. However, some of this information
has been recorded incorrectly.
The list of view and Library are given below
List of Views:
Schematic
Layout
Symbol
List of Libraries:
PMU
CMU

TS
Example directory structure is shown in the image below. You may look into the directory structure of
directory AIP in your EXAM loginID.
We need to develop C-shell script which will work on above source directory and produces new database
in the destination directory in required cadence 5x structure as described below.
1) C- shell script name: 2cadence5x.sh
2) Script has two command line arguments. The first one is the source directory name, and the
second one is destination directory name which are AIP & LIB respectively.
3) Script should check if two command line arguments are provided or not. If two command line
arguments are not provided, then it should stop executing script normally and indicate to the user
that required number of command line arguments are not provided. If more than two command
line arguments are provided, then it should continue executing script and provide warning to the
user by notifying that only first two arguments are considered for execution.
4) Check for existence of source directory and if it is directory or file. If not present or if it is file,
notify the user and stop executing the script.
5) Check for existence of destination directory. If it does not exist, create a new one. If it is already
present, then get approval (Y/N) from user whether to overwrite the directory or not. If user
provides N response, then exit the script normally else removes the existing destination directory
and creates new one.
6)
a) Correct the directory structure to match the standard Cadence 5X structure (Library →
Cell → View → Files).
b) Copy all the files into their correct locations within the updated directory structure
7)
a) Create two separate directories, Emails and VNC_ID, within the destination directory
(LIB).
b) Extract valid Email and VNC ID data from the files in the Information directory from
source directory (AIP).
c) Create separate files in the Emails and VNC_ID directories for each IP (based on
Library name). These files should contain only valid data from the corresponding source
files.
d) Ensure that each file is named as LibraryName_Email.txt for Emails data and
LibraryName_VNC.txt for VNC ID’s data in the Emails and VNC_ID directories in
destination directory (LIB), respectively.
e) The files in the Emails and VNC_ID directory should be like this
8) Also generate a summary report in the corrected directory i.e., destination directory for every
library inside it with name as LibraryName_report.txt. The file should contain contents as
follows
Library
No.of Schematics in Library:
No.of Layouts in Library:
No.of Symbols in Library:
Size of the Library:
No.of Cells in Library:
No.of Valid Emails:
No.of Valid VNC_ID’s:
9) Command execution should be as shown below. Command should be executed from
/home/VLSI/missad03/ EXAMS/exam_id
%2cadence5x ./AIP ./LIB
10) After successful execution of the above command destination directory LIB should contain data
as shown below
NOTE:
1) Valid Email Address Rules:
a) The email address should follow the format local-part@domain.
b) Local-Part Rules:
i) Can contain letters (a–z, A–Z), digits (0–9), and special characters like ., _, -, and
+.
ii) Cannot start or end with a special character.
iii) Cannot have consecutive special characters (e.g., .., --).
c) Domain Rules:
i) Should have at least one . separating the domain name and the top-level domain
(e.g., example.com).
ii) Each part of the domain (separated by .) must consist of letters and digits only.
iii) The domain must not start or end with ..
2) Valid VNC (IPv4) Address Rules:
a) An IPv4 address consists of four decimal numbers separated by dots (.).
b) Each number (octet) must be in the range 0 to 255.
c) Octets must not have leading zeros (e.g., 192.168.01.1 is invalid). But it can have only
one zero.
d) Each octet must contain 1 to 3 digits.
