xschem - schematic capture and netlisting EDA tool
xschem [options] [inputfile]
Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows creation
of hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach.
- -h, --help
- Print help and exit.
- -b, --detach
- Detach xschem from console (no output and no input from console)
- -n, --netlist
- Do a netlist of the given schematic cell.
- -v, --version
- Print version information and exit.
- -V, --vhdl
- Set netlist type to VHDL.
- -S, --simulate
- Run a simulation of the current schematc file (spice/Verilog/VHDL,
depending on the netlist type chosen).
- -w, --verilog
- Set netlist type to Verilog.
- --tcl
<tcl_script>
- Execute specified tcl instructions before any other action, this can be
used to change xschemrc variables.
- --preinit
<file>
- Execute specified tcl instructions before any other action and before
loading xschemrc.
- --command
<tcl_cmd>
- Execute specified tcl commands after completing startup.
- --script
<file>
- Execute specified tcl file as a command script (perhaps with xschem
commands).
- --diff
<file>
- Show differences with given file.
- --tcp-port
<number>
- Listen to specified tcp port for client connections. (number
>=1024).
- -i, --no_rcload
- Do not load any xschemrc file.
- -o, --netlist_path
- Set output for netlist.
- -N,
--netlist_filename
- Set name (only name, not path) of top level netlist file.
- -t, --tedax
- Set netlist type to tEDAx.
- -s, --spice
- Set netlist type to SPICE.
- -y, --symbol
- Set netlist type to symbol global property edit.
- -x, --no_x
- Dont use X (only command mode).
- -z, --rainbow
- Use a raibow-looking layer color table.
- -W, --waves
- Show simulation waveforms.
- -f, --flat_netlist
- Set flat netlist (for spice format only).
- -r, --no_readline
- Start without the tclreadline package ( this is necessary if stdin and
stdout are to be redirected for example to /dev/null).
- -c, --color_ps
- Set color postscript.
- --plotfile
<file>
- Use <file> as output for plot export (png, svg, postscript/pdf)
- --rcfile
<file>
- Use <file> as a rc file for startup instead of the default
xschemrc.
- -p, --postscript,
--pdf
- Export pdf schematic.
- --png
- Export png schematic.
- --svg
- Export svg schematic.
- -q, --quit
- Quit after doing things (no interactive mode).
- -l file, --log file
- Set a log file.
- -d n, --debug n
- Set debug level: 1, 2, 3,...: C program debug, -1, -2, -3...: TCL frontend
debug.
- /usr/share/xschem/xschemrc
- default configuration.
- ~/.xschem/xschemrc
- user configuration; if exists overrides settings from default
configuration; may be partial: settings not overridden will remain as set
from the system config.
- ./xschemrc
- local/per-project configuration; if exists overrides settings from the
user configuration and default configuration.
- /usr/share/xschem/systemlib
- builtin essentials, such as font and missing symbol graphics.
- /usr/share/xschem/utile
- TODO.
