Sudan’s gold boom: Connections to conflict and transnational impacts 7 December 2022 — 2:00PM TO 3:30PM Anonymous (not verified) 24 November 2022 Online

At this event, experts will discuss Sudan’s gold sector, its connections to conflict, and transnational impacts. 

At this webinar panellists will discuss Sudan’s gold sector, its connections to conflict, and transnational impacts.

Sudan is one of the largest gold producers on the continent, with the industry constituting Sudan’s foremost source of hard currency since the secession of South Sudan in 2011 and resulting loss of oilfields.

The gold rush that has ensued has had important implications for domestic and transnational conflict dynamics. Military actors and armed groups have sought control of gold-producing areas in the peripheries and to capitalize on the flow of labour migrants, against a wider backdrop of conflict partly stemming from contestation for control between central and local actors.

International interests are prominent, including increased Russian involvement in the sector, while gold smuggling has also interlaced with mercenary activity in neighbouring CAR, Chad and Libya.
 
At this event, panellists will discuss Sudan’s gold trade, its connections to conflict, and transnational impacts, including the international politics of Sudan’s gold extraction and role of armed groups. It will also explore the environmental and socio-economic dimensions of gold in Sudan’s border areas.

Hi! 

I am attempting to create a very simple test pcell that contains a single Nmos 4 terminal device (Gate, Source, Drain, Backgate). However, unlike other devices I have used in the past, the backgate terminal of the device I wish to include within the pcell is an inherited connection, and the other 3 are physical terminals. Note that for the pcell master, I do not want any inherited connections, just physical pins. Hence I need to drive this inherited connection with a pin within my pcell. I started implementing the symbol and schematic first, ensuring I could obtain the correct connectivity, extract netlist, etc. I thought I had it hooked up correctly, but alas I am failing to export the CDL. Let me explain my current approach.

Schematic:

Create the 4 physical pins using a combination of dbCreateInst (for the pin isnt), dbMakeNet, dbCreateTerm and dbCreatePin.

Create the device instance using dbCreateInstByMasterName and setting the desired cdf parameters + callbacks.

For the physical terminals of the device, I'm using dbCreateConnByName to make the connection to the appropriate net that was created above.

For the inherited connection, I am creating a netSet property like so: dbCreateProp(newinst deviceTermName "netSet" netName)

Symbol:

Create the 4 physical pins using a combination of dbCreateRect, dbMakeNet, dbCreateTerm, dbCreatePin.

And then create whatever symbol design I wish using the likes of dbCreateRect, dbCreateLine, etc. 

Everything works fine when using a device without an inherited connection, so I'm guessing I'm missing something along this line... Also, if I copy the contents of the pcell schematic to a regular schematic view, do a check and save, the view extracts just fine. So I wonder if the check and save it fixing the connectivity that I may not have. 

Thanks for any possibly engagement or suggestions 🙂

Please give me some ideas. Thank you very much.
