Hi,

I have recently installed newer version of virtuoso (6.1.4-64b). My PDK provider is AustriaMicrosystems (AMS). HitKit(version 4) has been installed with all updates available.

When I start virtuoso (by executing ams_cds command) there are some errors reported in CIW window:

I also noticed that layers in LSW and Virtuoso layout suit are not recognized/visible. There is a bunch of warnings in CIW window like:

*WARNING* The display packet information 'SCSDD6' for 'display' was not found.

Moreover when I imported a design the cmos models where not found, that is I have to set them manually every time I start ADE in Setup -> Model Libraries... .

 

Kind Regards and many thanks in advance for help and suggestions.

 

Piotr.
