Specify -tool=cdns to use these options.

-c_run1

Choose the run method for Cadence tool: step1. This performs the complete process from compiling to simulating.

-c_run3

Choose the run method for Cadence tool: step3. This performs the complete process from compiling to simulating.

-c_com

Compile only using XRUN 1-step method.

-c_dut

Compile DUT using XRUN 3-step method.

-c_tb

Compile testbench using XRUN 3-step method.

Guardrail: -c_tb requires a valid DUT compile database. If no DUT compile is requested in the same command, specify -base_dut=<name>.

-c_sim

Execute simulation using XRUN 3-step method.

Guardrail: -c_sim requires a valid TB compile database. If no TB compile is requested in the same command, specify -base_tb=<name>.

Wave compatibility (XRUN)

-wave=shm is the native Cadence format.

-wave=fsdb and -wave=vpd may work only with proper PLI setup and are not the default recommendation.
