Simulation files and bus syntax

simbamford

 Hi,

 

I have a design with some nodes using bus syntax, for example some nodes labelled BL<1:2>.

I create a stimulation file (.scs) containing:

 _BL1 (BL<1> 0) vsource type=dc dc=0
_BL2 (BL<2> 0) vsource type=dc dc=3.3

but when it parses it it gives the following error:

ERROR (SFE-874): "/home/sim/Cadence/Sim/SynMem_Test/spectre/schematic/netlist/stimuli/2010_04_14SynMem_Test.scs" 1: Unexpected operator "<". Expected end of file or end of line.
ERROR (SFE-874): "/home/sim/Cadence/Sim/SynMem_Test/spectre/schematic/netlist/stimuli/2010_04_14SynMem_Test.scs" 2: Unexpected operator "<". Expected end of file or end of line.

I assume I have to write something special for it to accept the bus syntax. Looking in the netlist it normally produces without the stimulation file, I see, for example:

InvBL\<1\> (nBL\<1\> BL\<1\> 0 vdd!) INV1
InvBL\<2\> (nBL\<2\> BL\<2\> 0 vdd!) INV1

 However when I try using the backslash in my stimulation file, like this:

 _BL1 (BL\<1\> 0) vsource type=dc dc=0
_BL2 (BL\<2\> 0) vsource type=dc dc=3.3

 I get the same error.

 Can anyone suggestion a solution?

 Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    thanks for the reply.

    Just for the record, simulating with ADE worked as expected in the end (even without the OSS mapping). It was a mistake on my side.

    I didn't manage to get OCEAN to work consistently. I have given up on that approach a while ago.

    Thanks anyway,
