Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the 26 JUL 2022 meeting were reviewed. Lance Wang moved to approve
the minutes. Bob Ross seconded. Without objection the minutes were approved.
AR review:
- (done) Randy presented the parser development contract for approval in the
open forum by email.
- (done) Weston found that the free version of HyperLynx Visual IBIS Editor is
no longer available as a separate, free download.
New ARs:
- None
NEW ITEMS:
The parser contract quote from Atul is $1500 with delivery by mid September.
Bob changed the actual contract to state delivery by 30 September.
Bob asked if we should consider the contract approved. Randy replied that all
the members who voted on the contract voted yes, so we can consider the
contract approved by the members.
The TouchStone parser bug5 fix is still on hold.
Weston led the continuing quality checklist discussion. Today the group
discussed the specification requirements around the [Pin Mapping] keyword.
This
keyword is optional in the specification, but it is required for quality
power-aware simulations. The group discussed how the bus labels and signal
names and merged pins interact. Since most of this syntax is defined in the
specification, the parser probably already checks the interaction. At this
point, the only item to add to the quality checklist is that the [Pin Mapping]
section must be included in the file for level 4 (power-aware) quality.
Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
- IBISCHK security fixes
Bob moved to adjourn. Randy seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.
Meeting ended: 12:50 ET
