Steps for adding new devices

• Add grammar rules to src/c_boost/xyce/SpectreGrammar.hpp (usually by copying/tweaking rules from XyceParser)

  • write/copy rule for device_dev_type
  • write rule for device
    • Remember to add rule for optional parenthesis
  • add to device = (resistor | inductor ...) rule
  • add to initial iterators

• In src/python/xdm/inout/readers/XDMFactory.py

  • update model_map_dict

• In src/python/xdm/inout/readers/SpectreNetlistBoostParserInterface.py

  • update spectre_to_adm_model_type_map

• make install in src/c_boost/build

• Add device definition to src/python/spectre_5_0.xml

To test

• In src/python/test/unit/inout/readers

  python -m unittest Test_Spectre_Boost_Reader

• Honestly didn't write very many in here. Testing was largely done by using this bash script which calls xdm.py and inspecting output files
