Assura RCX fails

pitter

Hi!

 When running RCX extraction with RC option (there is no error when Only C extraction is performed)I get the following error:

/home/piter/Cadence/Assura/tools.lnx86/assura/bin/32bit/labprint: relocation error: /home/piter/Cadence/Assura/tools.lnx86/assura/bin/32bit/labprint: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
*ERROR* at "connect": /home/piter/Cadence/Assura/tools.lnx86/assura/bin/32bit/labprint failed with status 127
*WARNING* Bad return status from RCX run. 0x100

 Thanks in advance for any help,

 pitter.

  • Hi pitter,

    It generally helps when talking about problems such as this to know which Assura version you're using (type "assura -W") and which OS release you're using (for example "cat /etc/redhat-release").

    This looks like a problem in ASSURA317 and ASSURA32 when running on RHEL5. The CCR I found on this said it was fixed in ASSURA41 (make sure you get the most recent version); I believe it may also be solved if you use QRC (the EXT81 or EXT91 streams) for extraction; Assura RCX is effectively end-of-lifed and replaced by QRC from the EXT stream (it's compatible technology).

    But this is all a bit of a guess since you didn't say what software version or OS version you're using.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

     

  •  Hi Andrew,

     as You have suggested, I installed QRC 8.14. Regardless of type of extraction (R, C, RC...) I perform, i receive error described in the log file I attach to this post.

    Kind Regards,

     pitter.

  • Hi pitter

    Would you please re-upload the qrc log file? The log file cannot be viewed. By the way, it would be great if you can use EXT910 instead of EXT814. : )  It has just been released.


    Best regards
    Quek

  • Hi pitter

    Thanks. QRC is terminating because some cellviews cannot be found in your libraries. Please ensure that you have the following cellviews:

    E.g.
    Library CellView
    ============
    PRIMLIB nmos4
    PRIMLIB nmosm4
    PRIMLIB pmos4
    PRIMLIB pmosm4
    PRIMLIB nmosh4
    ...
    analogLib pcapacitor
    ...

    It is strange that even pcapacitor is missing. : )  Perhaps the paths in your cds.lib file is wrong. If the missing cellviews from PRIMLIB are not needed, you can disable "Cellview check" in the "setup" tab of the qrc form.

    Best regards
    Quek

  •  Hi Quek,

    the nmos4, pcapacitor.... - all of those component are present in the libraries. The RCX saw all of them and was able to produce post-extracted view of the layout. After installing QRC the components are reported to be mising. It might be the path as you wrote. Where can I find the cds.lib and how shall I modify it?

     Best wishes,

    pitter.

  • Have a look in the cds.lib in your working directory. My guess is that you have something like:

    DEFINE analogLib $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/artist/analogLib

    If so, $CDS_INST_DIR is defined as meaning "the installation directory of the software reading the file", which is different for IC and EXT, of course.

    You could set it to:

    DEFINE analogLib       $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/icfb)/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/artist/analogLib
    DEFINE basic           $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/icfb)/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/basic

    for example. If using IC61, put virtuoso instead of icfb.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi pitter

    I noticed the following in your log file:

    ... -cdslib /home/piter/Cadence/DiskExt/CadenceDesigns/LC_Test/lib.defs ...

    It might also be that your lib.defs and cds.lib file are out of sync. Simply remove the lib.defs file in your working directory in which you started virtuoso. It might also solve the problem. : )

    Best regards
    Quek
  • Also as an FYI, ASSURA 3.x ignores the DD_USE_LIBDEFS environment variable. We have it set to "NO" for Virtuoso and don't use lib.defs, but every once in a while a designer will stream in some GDS for tape-out checks which often creates a lib.defs file in case it's needed. Many an evening has been lost trying to figure out why LVS has arbitrarily stopped working. I don't know if this is still an issue in ASSURA41 or PVS91. Andrew.
