Setting Up Cadence
Note: These instructions presume a basic level of Unix knowledge.
1. Logging into the ECE Linux machines Cadence at Georgia Tech is available on the Linux machines in Klaus 1448. You can log into these machines using your GTID and Password for authentication. If this is your first time using the Unix environment, please go through the following tutorial: http://www.ece-help.gatech.edu/unix/tutorial/index.html This is a good starting point. For anything else Google will be your best friend. Alternatively if you would like to work from the comforts of your own home, or simply just your own computer, you can ssh into the ECE Linux servers. Please see the following site in directions for remote login. http://www.ece-help.gatech.edu/policies/remote.html Cisco AnyConnect VPN will be required for all remote access. This can be obtained from OIT as stated on the site above. Note that you will need an ssh client if you are using a Windows machine. SecureCRT is available through OIT (software.oit.gatech.edu) at no cost. If you are using a Linux machine or a Mac you can simply use the following command to log in: ssh –X –l your_GTID ecelinsrv1.ece.gatech.edu The list of available linux servers are listed in the remote login page - http://www.ecehelp.gatech.edu/policies/remote.html
Generally any questions that you have about the software should be resolved by looking through the ECE Help website. Please browse the entire selection across the tabs on the left before contacting a TA. http://www.ece-help.gatech.edu/
2. Setting up Cadence First make sure you are in your Linux home directory. cd ~/
Next download the file ECE6130_Cadence.tar.gz from the T-Square site. Make sure that it is located in your HOME directory - /nethome/$USER. Now unzip and untar the files: gunzip ECE6130_Cadence.tar.gz tar –xvf
