J-2014.09-SP2
=============

This release of the Synopsys Verification Compiler Low Power Static Signoff
Reference Methodology does not include any product-specific changes. However,
it does provide support for the enhancements in the Lynx-compatible reference
methodology flow. For information about these enhancements, see the file named

J-2014.09
=========

The Synopsys Verification Compiler Low Power Static Signoff Reference Methodology,
formerly the Synopsys Verdi(R) Signoff-LP Low Power Static Signoff Reference
Methodology, has been renamed to be consistent with the new tool name. The
functionality of the scripts is the same, but names and variables have been updated

to match the new product name.

* The vsi.tcl script in rm_dc_scripts has been renamed to vc_lp.tcl.

* The vsi_top.tcl script in rm_dc_scripts has been renamed to vc_lp_top.tcl.
* The vsi.tcl script in rm_icc_scripts has been renamed to vc_lp.tcl.

The scripts now use the Verification Compiler Low Power Static Signoff tool
shell, vc_static_shell, instead of the Verdi Signoff-LP Low Power Static Signoff
tool shell, vsi_shell.

This release also provides enhancements in the Lynx-compatible reference

methodology
flow. For information about these enhancements, see the file named
Release_Notes.LynxCompatible-RM.txt.
