import verilog

Hi, I use the TSMC 65nm Design-Kit and I have a problem when I want to import a file in verilog. In fact, I get the following error: ncvlog: *W,DLNOHV: Unable to find an 'hdl.var' file to load in. Also, in reference libraries it does not recognize the sample library. I have a message telling me that : ' Library (sample) not initialised in the database. Is someone can help me? Regards, M.A. Bounouar

     Hi,

    Do you need to run the post-install configuration for your tool installation?  InstallScape has a "Configure" button. The Verilog and VHDL files that come with the installation need some configuration before use.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hello, When I try to import files when there is no ''constant.vams / disciplines.vams", the import is successfully. But when I import a file where there are (include "disciplines/constant.vams'') I have the following error message : ncvlog: *W,DLNOHV: Unable to find an 'hdl.var' file to load in. ncvlog: *E,COFILX (/grp/grad/boum1735/Desktop/SET_WEI.v,3|24): cannot open include file 'constants.vams'. `include "disciplines.vams" ncvlog: *E,COFILX (/grp/grad/boum1735/Desktop/SET_WEI.v,4|26): cannot open include file 'disciplines.vams'. electrical Vdrain, Vsource, Vgate, Vbody; Of course there are other mistakes but I think it will start once the previous problem set. Thank you for your help, M.A. Bounouar

    So are you trying to use File->Import->Verilog? Note that if your code contains includes to "disciplines.vams" then it is Verilog-AMS not Verilog, and hence File->Import->Verilog is not intended for that.

    You could create a new cellView (using Verilog AMS editor as the tool), or use the command line "ncvlog -use5x -ams -lib libName -view viewName /path/to/code.vams" to import it (fill in the italicised bits appropriately).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
