We told NERO to run in verbose mode, to use the muxoop placement file of the mux oo netlist and generate an
output file called muxoor (all this can be easily confirmed from the above output). NERO gives us a muxoor.ap
file that can also be visualized with GRAAL.
% graal
This time we choose the muxoor.ap file. This is shown in Figure 1.13. The layout processing with OCP and

NERO is shown in Figure 1.14. Once the design is routed, we can now use C OUGAR to extract from it the

corresponding net list. Before using it we need to set the MBK OUT LO environment variable to al. We do
this with the following command (under a C shell like tcsh or csh)
% setenv MBK_OUT_LO al
In a bash (or sh) shell it will be,
% export MBK_OUT_LO = al
And, in a standard Bourne shell,
% MBK_OUT_LO = al
% export MBK_OUT_LO
We can verify if the setting gone well, by providing the following command.
% echo $MBK_OUT_LO
al
