Aliening FEL RPM packages to DEB

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 15:49:30 -0700

Gabriel Augusto Ordónez is a

Electrical Engineering student from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá-Colombia South América)

Linux enthusiast and a

debian GNU linux user.

He tried Fedora Electronic Lab live cd and saw that this fedora version has several electronic packages which was useful to him.

He defined "the Fedora Electronic Laboratory" as a "great great project". Unfortunately, debian

rejected alliance's inclusion in their repositories,

doesn't have other simulation tools or standard cells, or

has old versions of those simulation tools.

Since Debian uses .deb, Gabriel is using "Alien" to convert the FEL rpm packages in .deb one by one. He is concerned about compatibility problems between fedora and debian.

Thereby, I'm calling to contributors of other distributions to package FEL packages for their distributions, thus making their users' life easier. Gabriel is a brave guy and has enough patience, others don't.

JulienBoucaron was synchronizing his Ubuntu alliance deb package with that of Fedora's. He even requested a package review for Ubuntu MOTU Science, but the package review didn't go far.

Livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 10:54:14 -0700

Following the discussion on Fedora Electronic Lab on the Fedora development mailing list, I've started creating a livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab this weekend.

Well a few hours ago, livecd-creator ended with a 691 MB image (built from yesterday's rawhide). It looks great, while my previous trials exceeded 750 MB. That reminds me of kadischi.

Firefox and its dependencies are pulled up. So in this live image, firefox is present. Hopefully soon the directory ownership on its dependencies such zenity might be fixed, thus making room for more applications. Possibly by then, gspiceui and gwave would be on the live image.

Two additional things this live image would have by default:
1. keyboard switch applet on kicker. (I have 2 laptops with 2 different keyboard layouts - fr and de. Believe me I know what's its like when "us" keyboard layout is by default. I believe this will encourage more users to try the demos from alliance or magic on the livecd and save their data on their usb sticks.)
2. "keep all below" and "keep all above" buttons on the window decorator.

Simply while using graal, xsch and dreal (from alliance), your desktop will be full with windows. Layout editing will be a pain in the neck as one have to keep on shifting windows as you can see in the following screenshot. Having those two buttons will ease the load of stress one might have.

Some work still need to be done in terms of failed services (nscd and avahi till now) upon boot. I haven't yet tested the Jeremy's fix for rhgb yet. Currently, there is a live image built going on, while I'm writing. Once it's completed I'll post the kickstart file for comments from those on the fedora livecd mailing lists.

Ah yes, I know there was discussions like "whether fedora livecds have gcc on it or not" in the past. Due to lack of space gcc wasn't included. But on the Fedora Electronic Lab live image gcc will be present.

EDA: Physical Layout is done, so what's next? (PART_1)

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 02:21:38 -0700

Whether you are a student, lecturer, VLSI amateurs or professionals, there is no way that you can prevent yourself from using proprietary softwares such from Cadence, Altera...

In the semiconductor world, students/trainees are taught under proprietary softwares so as they could be attractive for companies recruiting them. Similarly, students studying accounting or economics are taught under Microsoft Office instead of OpenOffice for the same reason. Sadly, this is the truth.

However proprietary softwares for the semiconductor world are so expensive that one can't afford for personal use (much more expensive than Vista, to give you an idea). Opensource might be an alternative. Thereby, the question of exchanging one's work between applications raises. I'll talk about layout editors for now. Each layout editor has its own file format. It would be useless to design a layout if one can't do much with its design. By useless, I mean waste of time and money. Mature EDA CADs like magic and alliance (soon on fedora) do provide exports to the GDS II stream format (GDSII) or Caltech Intermediate Form (CIF) provided the proper technology has been fed.

Now, students can design at home with magic, alliance (soon on fedora) or toped on their Fedora. Then demonstrate their achievement on Cadence's Virtuoso at school, for example. But on Fedora, one isn't only restricted to Layout editing, but can also:

extract spice netlists, simulate the latter with ngspice or gnucap (we will soon see gspiceui and gwave into the fedora collection in the next 2 weeks)

do Switch-level simulation with irsim

do VHDL simulations with either ghdl and freehdl along with gtkwave.

do large analog or mixed-signal circuits simulations

do schematics with xcircuit, xsch or gschem

design pcb with the couple geda suite and pcb. or with kicad and view under gerbv

do LVS with alliance (soon on fedora)- However for now netgen is giving segmentation faults.

(not semiconductor related: gpasm, gpsim, piklab, ktechlab and pikloops useful for pic programming)

All these to say, Fedora has included and will continue to include big opensource names in terms of electronic simulations. By F8's release, alliance, gspiceui and gwave will be available on the fedora collection, making electronic simulations one of F8's features. If you feel something is missing in Fedora's Electronic Simulation Kit or simply give feedbacks, please drop me a mail (chitlesh [AT] fedoraproject DOT org). I'll be delighted to make Fedora provide an Electronic Simulation Kit with which one can do _real_ job!

In Physical Layout is done, so what's next? (PART_2), I'll demonstrate an example of invertor using the TSMC 0.25µm SCN5M_DEEP technology.
