Hi,

I am trying to insert MBIST using mentor graphics tool.

Code dot - [expand]

CADEnvironment{ 
  LayoutTool: BlastFusion | ICCompiler | TalusAcc | TalusVortex | (Other); 
  CreateDirectoryCommand: <mkdir Command>; 
  CreateSoftLinkCommand: <ln -s command>; 
  DefaultSimulator: Verilog-XL | NC-Verilog | (ModelSim) | VCS; 
  [B]SynthesisTool: DCTCL | BlastCreate | TalusDesign; [/B]
  Simulator (<simulatorName>) {// Verilog-XL | NC-Verilog | ModelSim | VCS
    CommandOverride (<commandName>): <newCommandName>;
    // It is recommended to use the CommandOverride property
    // instead of the two following properties:
    Command: <commandName>;// verilog | ncverilog | vlog | vcs
    CompileCommand: <compileCommand>; 
  } 
}


above is the syntax for .CADSetup . Here we as per ETPlanner reference manual, It supports 3 synthesis tools . Can we use Cadence RTL Compiler as synthesis tool? If yes , then please suggest a way. What option should i specify to use Cadence RTL Compiler as synthesis tool here?

Thanks

If you are sure it supports 3 synth tools, then there may not be a place for the 4th. Just make sure what the documentation says.
I am not sure what the .CADSetup does....the following looks like to stupid hack, did you try it (just adding the name of your desired synth tool)?
Code: 
SynthesisTool: DCTCL | BlastCreate | TalusDesign | RTL Compiler;

If you don't get a solution here you might try posting this in the Cadence Forums (if you have not already done it).

Yes, I have Tried it but seems like it is not working.
 

Sorry I don't have a solution for you other than this little piece of advise!

You want to synth using Cadence RC but for MBIST insertion want to use a Mentor tool, right?
Well I don't think it would be a good design practice. Better to stick to the same tool/flow for synth & MBIST insertion.
