Starting the program

There are several scripts in normal paths to launch the IC products. No modification to your startup files is necessary to use these. "virtuoso" is the best place to start. Most tools in the bundle should be accessible from there. Other startup commands may be desirable depending on task.


Command Description
virtuoso Front to Back Design Envirionment
icde Design Entry Envirionment
icds Digital Design Envirionment
icms Mixed Signal Design Envirionment
layout Layout Design Environment
layoutPlus Physical Design Environment

There are more startup commands available not in normal paths. You'll need to add one of these to your startup files depending on shell.
