Spectre Turbo - ahdlcmi compilation error

Karthik AB
Karthik AB over 14 years ago

Hi everybody,

I am getting the following ahdlcmi compilation error only when I run Spectre in Turbo mode.The same error comes when I run Spectre-Turbo in stand-alone (command line) or from the Analog Design Environment.I am not getting the error when I run Spectre in normal mode (no Turbo). 'setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0' is already set.

 I am using MMSIM7.2,IC5141.OS is Debian.

When I tried running Spectre-Turbo with the same netlist file in a CentOS machine from command line, I am not getting the ahdlcmi error. 

"ERROR (VACOMP-1008): Cannot compile ahdlcmi module library. Check the log file input.ahdlSimDB/5348_artist_ahdlLib_quantizer_veriloga_veriloga.va.quantizer.ahdlcmi/Linux2.6.26-1-amd64+gcc/../ahdlcmi.out for details. If the compiler ran out of memory, use 'setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0', and try again. If the reason for the failure was a syntax error, contact your Cadence Customer Support representative with the netlist, log files, behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem"

Please help me fix this problem.

Regards,

Karthik.

    Neither Debian nor CentOS are supported (i.e. not even tested by Cadence), although CentOS is closer to RHEL (which is supported).

    Looking in the file it mentions "for details" might explain what the problem is. Maybe there's a shared library that is missing? But the way to fix the problem is to use a supported operating system.

    Andrew.
