Can't create devices in layout using pycells

edbewald

I am using IC6.1.5.504 in 32bit mode.  RHEL5, linux x86-64.

 We recently started looking at a kit that utilizes Pycells.  When we place an instance of

a device (ex. nch_mac) none of the layers are visible.  The 'q' form shows the correct

parameters, the layer pallette shows the correct layers.  When I try to stream out, I get the

error, 'translating cellview <path>/layout as STRUCTURE' and no GDS file is created.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a solution?

Thanks,

Eddie

  • Does your PDK require Environment-Variables like e.g LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the python?

    If so make sure to have the correct settings. Also take care for 32/64 bit issues.

    You can use  the command :  layout -debug3264

    to see what will be launched and if this matches your settings.
