EXECUTABLES

Each link below will download a zip archive containing the selected executable(s) as well as the license agreement file, which must be copied along with the executables in any redistribution. Executables for ibischk7 are available for the following platforms:

• linux_redhat7_32 (from SiSoft. Compiled on a system with 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 kernel, delivered with the RHEL Server 7 distribution - see note* below)
• linux_redhat7_64 (from SiSoft. Compiled on a system with 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 kernel, delivered with the RHEL Server 7 distribution - see notes* and ** below)
• linux_ubuntu_32 (from Apt Software. Compiled on a system with 5.4.0-42-generic kernel, for Ubuntu Linux systems)
• linux_ubuntu_64 (from Apt Software. Compiled on a system with 5.4.0-42-generic kernel, for Ubuntu Linux systems)
• macos_64 (from SiSoft for MacOS operating systems)
• win_32 (from Apt Software for Windows operating systems)
• win_64 (from Apt Software for Windows operating systems)

The full set of executables is available in one ZIP archive ibischk702_all.zip.

* Beginning with RHEL 5 the compiler made automatic stack protection the default. The compiler determines the maximum stack size needed for each function call and inserts code that writes some known garbage data at the end of the stack before the call, then checks it after the call. If it doesn't match, the OS__stack_chk_failed function is called, which exits with an error message. There is a problem running such code on a Linux release that doesn't have that system function. Those releases still exist, RHEL 4.9 was retired only in 2011. IBISCHK started using stack protection in the 5.1.4 version, 5.1.3 and earlier did not have it. This compilation returns to not using stack protection, and should be compatible with a wide range of Linux releases.

** Some differences might exist between the 32-bit and 64-bit compilations. For example, the "... equivalent load applied to the model's I-V tables ..." for W1503 calculates 1.42V on 64 bit systems and 1.43V on 32 bit systems for the same test case.

SHA1 digests are shown below for checking the integrity of each official release executable above. Unzip the contents of the ZIP file above and save the SHA1 checksum file ibischk702_sha1.txt (contents shown below). Then run "sha1sum -c ibischk702_sha1.txt". The report for each file should be "ok" (may need Unix, Linux, or Cygwin):

IBISCHK7 DOCUMENTATION

When “ibischk7” is run with no arguments, IBISCHK7 prints this help message:

IBISCHK7 V7.0.2

IBISfile validation:
This program has been provided free to the electrical
engineering community by the IBIS Open Forum.  The
purpose of this program is to validate that the contents
of ASCII device data in a file specified conform to the
IBIS specification.
Usage: ibischk7_64       
     : ibischk7_64  -ebd 
     : ibischk7_64  -pkg 
     : ibischk7_64  -ami 
     : ibischk7_64  -ims 
Usage: ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered      
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ebd 
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -pkg 
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ami 
     : ibischk7_64  -caution -numbered -ims 
The flags prior to the file name can be in any order, and the -caution and/or -numbered flags are optional.

One (and only one) file name argument must be provided to perform checking, and the file name extension must be consistent with the file type flag. Independent .ebd, .pkg and .ami file checking is done using the -ebd, -pkg and -ami flags. The -caution flag produces additional Caution messages for all [IBIS Ver] versions. The -numbered flag produces Error, Warning, Notes, and Caution messages with four digit numbers following E, W, N, and C respectively.
