In this enlightening episode, we embarked on a comprehensive exploration of TCL (Tool Command Language), diving into its various aspects and functionalities. We began by unraveling the concept of TCL, shedding light on its significance and applicability within the domain of VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration). We delved into the reasons why TCL scripting finds extensive usage in VLSI and how it aids in automating tasks, enhancing productivity, and streamlining the design process. Moreover, we unveiled the mechanics of how TCL script interacts with the Design Under Test (DUT), providing insights into the seamless integration and communication between TCL and the design environment. We further ventured into the realm of TCL Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), elucidating their methodology and illustrating their role in extending TCL's capabilities and facilitating interaction with external tools and libraries. Additionally, we explored the significance of TCL scripting in practical scenarios, where it comes into action to address specific design challenges and customize workflows. Furthermore, we introduced various general TCL interpreters, showcasing the availability and versatility of TCL in different programming environments. Lastly, we provided a step-by-step guide for installing the TCL shell, enabling viewers to set up the necessary environment to start their TCL scripting journey. By the end of this episode, viewers gained a comprehensive understanding of TCL, its applications in VLSI, its interaction with the design environment, the role of TCL APIs, practical use cases, and the process of getting started with TCL scripting. Each tool for each Vendor have their own Application Programming Interface & Corresponding Manual.These APIs are TCL procedures which provides a modular programming approach. Your TCL Code together with the APIs , make LIVE design data available to you for Designing or Verification purpose. Many VLSI EDA Software have their own shell to accept TCL code.
