# [WIP] Dockerize scripts for commercial EDA tools
Here is the `Dockerfile`s to dockerize popular [EDA (Electronic Design Automation)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_design_automation) tools!
With docker images made from these `Dockerfiles`, we could do:
* Build/test your design on the cloud server (but here comes a license issue :) )
* Maintain tools with as many different version as you want without difficulties
* Provide tools for you or your peer's desktop computer regardless of which OS you are using
* [Continuous Integration (CI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration) for your design
* and much more!
> Of course, most things listed above could be done without Docker and meaningless job made by me :)
> I don't know dockering tools is useful or not...
## Packages tried to dockerize
- Synosys
- Design Compiler (DC)
- IC Compiler (ICC)
- VCS (RTL Simulator) (N-2017; w/ Ubuntu 16.04)
- HSPICE (N-2017; for J-2014 `netbase` package is also required ([#6][i6]))
- Cadence
- Incisive (NCSim)
- Virtuoso (IC)
## CAVEAT
- You should NOT upload an image containing commercial tool to PUBLIC docker registry! ;-)
- Intermediate images are not removed automatically, you have to remove by yourself for now. (see below)
- X11 forwarding with host was not prepared. In other words, with this image you cannot open GUI windows out-of-the-box. (See [#3][i3])
- How can we run docker container with unpriviledged permission? In other words, can this image be used similar to desktop applications?
- Currently, I did not prepare to drop root priviledge in `Dockerfile`s
- [Singularity](https://www.sylabs.io) could be a solution [#5][i5]
## Prerequisites
- Docker 17.05+ (this script uses multi-stage build feature)
- Installer and installation package of the tool you want to dockerize
- This repository consists of just `Dockerfile`s, not of actual images or installer packages
## Generating an image
- Clone this repository to your workstation.
- Copy (or bind mount) installer and installation package to the subdirectory
- Refer to shell scripts for bind-mounting installation files from other path. Bind mount was used only for avoiding copy installation package to working path
- modify dockerfile to match with your tool version, your requirements, etc.
- Execute below command to create an image.
```bash
$ sudo docker build -t : -f .
e.g. $ sudo docker build -t synopsys_dc:X-2020.4 -f Dockerfile_Synopsys_DC .
```
- You can manually remove intermediate images created during building an image.
```bash
$ sudo docker images # find a tag of the intermediate image
$ sudo docker rmi
or
$ docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)
```
## Launch a container
- Example command to run a container
- You should pass `LM_LICENSE_FILE` environment variable regarding your license server
- Consider bind mount your user directory
```bash
$ sudo docker run --rm -it -e LM_LICENSE_FILE="@" \
[]
```
- To run a container with GUI (X11) enabled, see [#3][i3].
## Vendor specific requirements
### Synopsys
- Requires following jobs to be run within Ubuntu (14.04) environment
```bash
$ sudo apt install csh libxss1 libsm6 libice6 libxft2 libjpeg62 libtiff5 libmng2 libpng12-0
# WORKAROUND link old library filenames with newer version
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.3
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmng.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmng.so.1
```
- Change default shell from `dash` to `bash` for avoiding shell script compatibility issues
```bash
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/bash 20
```
- Ubuntu 18.04 requires additional treatments, because `libpng12-0` package was removed from that version
- Manually download and install `libpng12-0` package, or add source of older releases and install package from that source like below:
```bash
$ sudo 'echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y -t xenial libpng12-0
```
#### HSPICE
- Requires `libxml2` also
##### J-2014
- Requires `netbase` package, which has `/etc/protocols` file
#### VCS
- Additionally required packages:
- `dc`
- gcc/g++ compiler
- In Debian/Ubuntu, you can do that by simply installing `build-essential` package (with unnecessary more packages ;-( )
- Define below environment variables
```bash
$ export VCS_HOME=
$ export VCS_TARGET_ARCH="amd64"
```
- Set alias for `vcs` command. Below example is for Bash shell:
`$ alias vcs="vcs -full64"`
- Unfortunately, `VCS_TARGET_ARCH` was not fully effective
- This was not implemented in VCS `Dockerfile` for now
### Cadence
- Requires following packages
```bash
$ sudo apt install openjdk-6-jre # for installer
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt libxtst6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxi6:i386 ksh csh \
```
- Define below environment variable to execute 64-bit binary
`$ export CDS_AUTO_64BIT=ALL`
- (Virtuoso) Define below environment variable regarding inside `/share/oa/lib/`
`$ export OA_UNSUPPORTED_PLAT "linux_rhel50_gcc48x"`
### Mentor
- Have to mimic OS vendor and version as Redhat 7.0
- Refer to the [Patch file](https://github.com/limerainne/Dockerize-EDA/blob/master/patches/mentor_calibre_os_as_rh7.patch)
