Formality基本流程和参考脚本

0. Formality 基本流程

1.Start Formality启动formality工具

Gui方式：首先fm_shell , 然后start_gui，source script.tcl
shell方式：见参考脚本
fm_shell -file my_script.tcl |tee -i my_transcript.out

2.Load guidence（导入svf文件）

a.set synopsys_auto_setup true

    开这个option之后，工具default的变量如下

hdlin_ignore_embedded_configuration = true
hdlin_ignore_full_case = false
hdlin_ignore_parallel_case = false
signature_analysis_allow_subset_match = false
svf_ignore_unqualified_fsm_information = false
upf_assume_related_supply_default_primary = true
upf_use_additional_db_attributes = true
verification_set_undriven_signals = synthesis
verification_verify_directly_undriven_output = false
set_mismatch_message_filter -warn
b.set_svf myfile.svf
可以通过report_guidance -summary

The results of the status fields are
Accepted – Formality validated and applied the guide command to the reference design.
Rejected – Formality either could not validate or could not apply the guide command to the reference design.
Unsupported – Formality does not currently support the guide command.
Unprocessed – Formality has not processed the guide commands yet. This usually happens when a checkpoint verification has paused the processing.

3. Load Design

参考脚本：

read_db ${all_db}
read_verilog -container -r -libname WORK -01 -f $RT{L}_{F}ILELISTse{t}_{t}opr:/WORK/$DESIGN_NAME
read_verilog -container -i -libname WORK -01 -f $Netlis{t}_{F}ILELISTse{t}_{t}opi:/WORK/$DESIGN_NAME
4. Performing Setup

该部主要就是对一些port设constant，或者一些primary points不需要比，设ignore等

参考脚本：

set_constant -type port r:/WORK/$DESIG{N}_{N}AME/sca{n}_{m}ode0se{t}_{c}onstant-typeporti:/WORK/$DESIGN_NAME/scan_mode 0

set_dont_verify_point r:/WORK/$DESIG{N}_{N}AME/scanout\ast se{t}_{d}on{t}_{v}erif{y}_{p}ointi:/WORK/$DESIGN_NAME/scanout*
5. Matching Compare Points

Formality默认的match方式：

Exact-Name Matching (name-based matching)

Name Filtering (name-based matching)

Topological Equivalence (non name-based matching)

Signature Analysis (non name-based matching)

Compare Point Matching Based on Net Names (name-based matching)

参考脚本

match
report_unmatched_points > $REPORTS_DIR/unmatched_R2N.log
6. Verifying the Design and Interpreting Results

参考脚本：

verify
report_failing_points > $REPORTS_DIR/fail_R2N.log
7. Debug

Debug可以通过一些命令，也可以通过GUI的

Schematics的方式，大部分都是通过Schematics去对比compare point不等的pin，然后往前trace，追到源头不等的点。
