ADMS - An automatic device model synthesizer

ADMS is a code generator that converts electrical compact device models specified in high-level description language into ready-to-compile C code for the API of spice simulators. Based on transformations specified in XML language, ADMS transforms Verilog-AMS code into other target languages.

This version is forked from the code previously available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mot-adms/files/adms-source/2.3/

The original SVN repo is no longer available.

This version is based on ADMS 2.3.0, the last version released by the original author in 2012.

Currently only a subset of the Verilog-AMS language is supported.

Platforms

ADMS is known to work on these platforms.

Dependencies

Installing dependencies on Linux Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install automake libtool gperf flex bison
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl
sudo apt-get install libgd-perl

Maintainers Install and Packaging from Git

This section is relevant in case ADMS is compiled from the Git repository.

Compilation Using Autotools

Use the default commands to compile, generate files and install.

sh bootstrap.sh
./configure
make install

Autotools it currently used for creating release packages, the adms-x.x.x.tar.gz source code archive.

sh bootstrap.sh
./configure
make clean
make dist

Compilation Using CMake

mkdir cmake; cd cmake
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/location/
make install

Packaging is not yet supported with CMake. At the moment, only static libraries can be build with CMake.

Users Install from Tarball

This section is relevant in case ADMS is compiled from a source code archive (adms-x.x.x.tar.gz).

Compilation Using Autotools

tar xvfz adms-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd adms-x.x.x
./configure --prefix=[/install/location/]
make install

Compilation Using CMake

tar xvfz adms-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd adms-x.x.x
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[/install/location/]
make install

Building an RPM

Go through all the aclocal/automake/configure process to ensure you have all the dependencies installed.

Chances are you will need to install these packages: gcc-c++ flex bison libtool libtool-ltdl-devel

Then rename the ADSM directory to ADSM-2.3.0 and tar it to make ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ADMS-2.3.0.tar.gz

Then copy the spec file into your rpmbuild/SPECS directory

Then build with rpmbuild -ba SPECS/adms.spec

0- Prerequisites
    0- gnu make is required (do not use other native make)

1- Description
  ADMS is a code generator that converts electrical compact device models
  specified in high-level description language into ready-to-compile c code
  for the API of spice simulators.

2- Installation - Unix or Linux
    0- run: ./configure - see file INSTALLATION for more options
    1- run: gmake
    2- run: gmake install
  If the installation fails try:
    0- run: autoheader
    1- run: aclocal
    2- run: automake
    3- run: autoconf
    4- run: ./configure - see file INSTALLATION for more options
    5- run: gmake
    6- run: gmake install
    In two shots:
      autoheader && aclocal && automake && autoconf && ./configure
      gmake && gmake install

3- Installation - Windows with cygwin environment
    0- run: ./configure - see file INSTALLATION for more options
    1- run: gmake
    2- run: gmake install
  If the installation fails try:
    0- run: autoheader
    1- run: aclocal
    2- run: automake
    3- run: autoconf
    4- run: ./configure - see file INSTALLATION for more options
    5- run: gmake
    6- run: gmake install
    In two shots:
      autoheader && aclocal && automake && autoconf && ./configure
      gmake && gmake install

4- Installation windows (no cygwin environment)
  0- run:
       cl -DYY_NO_UNISTD_H -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"msvc-229\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DinsideElement -DinsidePreprocessor -DinsideVeriloga -I. -IadmsXml \
          admsXml/adms.c admsXml/preprocessorLex.c admsXml/preprocessorMain.c admsXml/preprocessorYacc.c admsXml/verilogaLex.c admsXml/verilogaYacc.c \
          admsXml/admsXml.c admsXml/admstpathYacc.c -o admsXml.exe
     If the installation fails send a message to r29173@users.sourceforge.net
     (note that there is NO strong support for windows compilers.)

5- Directory Structure
   adms
    - metaadms.dtd
      DTD of file adms.xml
    - adms.xml
      This file defines the data structure used by adms to save parsed hdl code.
    - auxconf
      set-up files created by automake -a -c
    - scripts:
      perl scripts
    - admsXml
      source code

5- For developers (using the cygwin environment)
  Here is how I create the compilation environment after checking out adms from
  the CVS repository:
  0- run: autoheader (create autom4te.cache/config-h.in from configure.in)
  1- run: mkdir auxconf (create directory auxconf)
  2- run: aclocal (create aclocal.m4 from configure.in)
  3- run: libtoolize --force --ltdl -c (create libltdl and config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh in auxconf)
  4- run: automake -a -c (create missing, mkinstalldirs, install-sh in auxconf and all Makefile.in)
  5- run: autoconf (create configure)
  6- run: ./configure
  In three shots:
    rm -rf auxconf && autoheader && mkdir auxconf && aclocal && libtoolize --force --ltdl -c
    touch ChangeLog && automake -a -c && autoconf
    ./configure
