cadence ic613 with assura32: warning about environment variable

iamlearning

Hello all,

I installed cadence ic613 and assura32 for the first time. When I open the Layout Editor Window from the CIW, a warning pops up in my CDS.log file informing that, it could not find the ...../ic613/tools.lnx86/dfII/etc/tools/assura directory to load environment variables. Anyone please write me what does it mean. How could I fix it ?

Thank you ...

    Hi iamlearning

    Thank you for the file. : )

    To upload a file, please follow the steps below:
    a. Press "Reply" button
    b. Select "Options" tab
    c. Use "Add/Update" button under "File attachment"

    It is not really a good idea to use "$ASSURAHOME/tools/assura/bin" in the cshrc file as some wrappers might be bypassed. Please use the following instead:

    set assuraPath=($ASSURAHOME/bin)
    set path = ($assuraPath $path)

    The warning is actually quite harmless and can be safely ignored. It is most likely due to the pdk initialization scripts. My guess is that there is a "envSetVal" cmd in the libInit.il file (or a related file) which is attempting to load a non-existent settting. We can of course trace through the files to find out the cause of the problem but I guess that might be quite unnecessary since the warning is quite harmless anyway. You can go to the pdk technology directory and start from the libInit.il file. Check all the envSetVal cmd and see if you can any anything suspicious.

    Best regards
