| README: Odin II visualization tool |
| |
| The tool visualizes blif files created by Odin II. It allows to explore the netlist as well as to visualize the step based simulation using random input vectors. |
| |
| Installation: |
| |
| The application requires the qt framework. The easiest way to compile and run the program is to install qtCreator: |
| |
| apt-get install qtcreator |
| |
| The folder is structured into three sections: |
| |
| blifexplorer/src: the source files as well as graphics etc. |
| blifexplorer/build: the compiled files and the executable, which allows to run the program without starting qtCreator. |
| blifexplorer/debug: used in the qtCreator for the debug compilation process. |
| |
| In qtCreator please use the "File->Open File or Project..." dialog to open the project file: blifexplorer/src/blifExplorer.pro |
| |
| During the first start it is necessary to set the build and debug environment as qtCreator does not allow relative paths. |
| In the project setup window, which pops up during the first start please choose "Manual" in the "Create Build Configuration" drop down menu. |
| Change the configuration to the following values: |
| |
| Qt in PATH release: blifexplorer/build/ |
| Qt in PATH debug: blifexplorer/debug/ |
| |
| Once the project is open, the application can be started using the big green button on the bottom left side. |
| |
