That's what I thought. Is there a book or something on how to create a full chip using Electric? There is mention of the router, but it appears that all the subcomponents must be built up by hand and placed. Is it possible to build low level components and have the schematic pull them into cells, allowing the creation of more complex parts?

You can extend the VHDL libraries, but it might require some source-code hacking. Also, the VHDL compiler is strictly "structural" (i.e. components and connections) and not "behavioral" (higher-level expressions are not understood). -Steven Rubin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Electric VLSI Editor" group.
