I have been trying out the OCT Tools.
When I ran the following demo:
 
   #! /bin/csh -f
 
   echo 'running bdsyn (logic translation)'
   bdsyn -z pla.bds >pla.blif
 
   echo 'running misII (logic optimization)'
   misII -f script.msu -T oct  -o pla:logic pla.blif
 
   echo 'running wolfe (standard-cell place and route)'
   wolfe -o:symbolic pla:logic
 
   echo 'running vulcan (protection frame generator)'
   vulcan -k pla:symbolic
 
I got the following output:
 
   running bdsyn (logic translation)
   running misII (logic optimization)
   "pla.blif", line 52: node 'DONT_CARE' does not fanout
   running wolfe (standard-cell place and route)
   octCopyFacet: `pla:logic:interface:' doesn't exist
   Run aborted
   running vulcan (protection frame generator)
   vulcan: can't open cell ``pla:symbolic:contents:'' for reading:
   OctOpenFacet: `pla:symbolic:contents:' doesn't exist
 
 
misII generated only the logic:contents; facet. I assume it
should have generated the logic:interface; facet as well, but it
did not. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem ?
If misII does produce the interface facet, where is the source code
routine that creates this facet?

I got the same results no matter what input (bds) file I used.

Thanks in advance - Ran Ginosar.
