RE: [IBIS-Users] S2IBIS with Eldo simulator

Eldo has an HSPICE compatibility mode. You should be able to turn that on
and then run your extraction using the HSPICE syntax.

I am not an Eldo user either but it seems s2ibis2 could handle Eldo if
the tool can be envoked from the command line.

<extracted from /s2ibis2/doc/s2ibis2.txt>

 [Spice command] command

        command = command to use when invoking Spice.

        Optional.
        Default: specified in s2istrng.h

        This string specifies, in C syntax, how you would call Spice
        from the command line. It has three "%s" printf conversion
        characters, one each for the spice input file, the spice output
        file and the spice message file (this last is optional), IN THAT
        ORDER. See the string variable defaultSpiceCommand in the file
        src/s2istrng.h for an example of the correct format. (Note that
        the command line switches used to invoke spice3 and spectre MUST
        be used.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<extracted from /s2ibis2/src/s2istrng.h>

char *spiceNameString[] =
                {
                "HSpice",
                "PSpice",
                "SPICE2",
                "Spice3",
                "Spectre"
                };

char *defaultSpiceCommand[] =
                {
                "hspice %s >%s 2>%s",
                "pspice %s %s /D0",
                "spice %s %s",
                "spice3 -b %s >%s 2>%s",
                "spectre -f nutascii -c 132 %s -r %s >%s"
                };
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, you may have to add the call to Eldo in the above syntax and
re-compile the src code..
