 Here is the msg found in the log file (NOT spectre.out under psf. psf direcotry is empty actually).

Error* Error during netlisting of design for the point ID (0 1).
\e ("ls" 0 t nil ("*Error* ls: too many arguments (0 expected, 1 given)" ("/prj/qct/scratch/sandiego/quboz/cadence_test/adexl_hackNetlist/adexl_new/results/data/Interactive.0")))
\e

 

 it ran through with ADEL.

My cadence version is IC615_isr12

Thanks,

Joe

    Joe,

    Well, you're redefining a Cadence private function, with a function with the same name which doesn't accept the same arguments, and doesn't return the same value.

    Can you try removing your customization and seeing if that makes a difference? I don't know whether maybe you are either using a different version, or using some different functionality - maybe something specific inside ADE XL is using this internal "ls" function (it was added many years ago by the ADE team, so it's not surprising that somewhere in the code it gets used).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
