oa2cdb translation

tkhan

Sorry for cross-posting here and on comp.cad.cadence, I wasn't getting a reply there...

Long story short, I need to translate a design back to IC5141 which
I've started in IC613. I tried the oa2cdb utility on an unimportant
library first, but get the following error:

megatron:/home/student1/guest2/cmrf8sf-cdb> /CMC/tools/cadence/
IC-6.1.4/tools/dfII/bin/oa2cdb -lib exampleVCO -cdslibpath ~/cmrf8sf/
lib.defs
*WARNING* envGetVal: Could not find variable 'dbStatCacheOn'
        in tool[.partition] 'cdba'.
*WARNING* envGetVal: Could not find variable 'dbInstNamingGlobalInc'
        in tool[.partition] 'cdba'.
ERROR   (OACDB-113): Failed to find the OpenAccess library
"exampleVCO"
                     because the library is not defined in /home/
student1/guest2/cmrf8sf/lib.defs
                     or is not readable. Ensure that the OpenAccess
library definition file
                     you specify defines the library you want to
translate and
                     that you have permission to read the library.

INFO    (OACDB-820): oa2cdb translation failed.

exampleVCO is defined in lib.defs

megatron:/home/student1/guest2/cmrf8sf-cdb> tail -1 ~/cmrf8sf/lib.defs
DEFINE exampleVCO exampleVCO

The permissions on the folder are

megatron:/home/student1/guest2/cmrf8sf-cdb> ls -ld ~/cmrf8sf/
exampleVCO
drwx------ 3 guest2 student 512 Apr 12 11:12 /home/student1/guest2/
cmrf8sf/exampleVCO/

Please advise.

Thanks,
Tarek

  • Did you convert back the technology library first? 

    I would ask however, why are you converting an OpenAccess library back to CDB? The last CDB release is IC5141, which was released in 2004 and had its final hotfix in 2011 (over 5 and a half years ago). The oa2cdb route was only ever intended as a "disaster-only" conversion route, and is not something that is being actively maintained, especially this long after the end-of-support of IC5141.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
