Simulation failed, cannot compile ahdl libraries

Kabal

 Hello, I am using the IBM0.18um kit, and so far can simulate stuff without problems.

Now that i have added some customizable ESD structures to schematic, then i layed it all out, checked, lvs'ed, no problems so far.

What i want to do now is simulate the whole thing, and for some reason Cadence does not do it saying that it cannot compile ahdlcmi module library. I am not quite sure what has to be done to feed that data correctly and make MMSIM 10 simulate everything?

 

below is a log file:

spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.

 

by the way, i tried setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0, it did not help.

any ideas?

  • My guess is that you're running a 32-bit OS, and we only support 64-bit OS versions these days (plus the fact that you're using an unsupported distribution of Linux, but that's probably not the issue). I would expect the "uname -a" output to have  x86_64 in it somewhere.

    hi Andrew , 

    I have a similar problem for the 64 bit OS

    would you please help me?

    Which OS are you using and which version of the OS ("lsb_release -a" at the UNIX prompt should tell you all of this, I think). If isb_release doesn't work, try using "cat /etc/os-release".

    Also, which spectre version are you using? "spectre -W" at the UNIX prompt will tell you this.

    I found one case which reported exactly the same error, and in that case they were using Debian which is an unsupported OS.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    You right I am using  spectre 13.1.0.066 on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

    I wish it was supported, for it works very well except for whatever refers to ahdllib.

    Thank you

    Actually, MMSIM15.1 and SPECTRE16.1 and later are supported on Ubuntu 14. You are using a 6-year old version of MMSIM, so all bets are off.

    Whether these newer versions will work on Ubuntu 16 I'm not sure (as an OS, we only have limited support for it across our products - only a few releases support this). That said, we plan to drop support for Ubuntu in new releases this year (there has not been enough significant customer requests for this platform to warrant the additional testing and platform porting needed).

    If you are after a "free" OS version to use, CentOS would be a better fit. This is closer to RHEL and also has limited support too (it isn't officially supported for SPECTRE releases, but it's far more likely to be compatible with RHEL releases if you pick CentOS 6.X or CentOS 7.X).
