Course Details
This course offers a practical introduction to the Tessent Shell environment, focusing on essential skills for efficient integrated circuit design and analysis. Participants will gain hands-on experience with the Tessent Visualizer graphical interface for design introspection and editing, while also mastering the unified Tcl-style syntax and command conventions that underpin Tessent Shell scripting. The curriculum covers the use of system modes and contexts to manage design states, techniques for examining and editing design data, and effective strategies for leveraging the built-in help system and documentation. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to navigate the Tessent Shell and Visualizer tools with confidence, enabling streamlined design workflows and improved productivity.
Learn how to leverage …. Hands-on lab exercises will reinforce lecture and discussion topics under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.
Familiarity with the basic concepts of SoC test methodologies and techniques, basics of memory organization and testing, JTAG, IJTAG, logic, and state devices. There are no prerequisite courses as this course is an overview of the Tessent Shell interface. However, if you have taken other Tessent courses, this course will demonstrate how to deal with Tessent Shell interface and invoke it.
