Calibre and Assura missing from my layout menu

wgtkan
Calibre and Assura menu is missing from my layout window. The PDK came with no configuration tempelates (.cdsinit or .cdsenv). I read the documentation but couldn’t find any help. What should I do to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

  • For Assura, all you should need to do is to:

    1. Make sure your have ASSURA installed (and an version corresponding to your IC release - so a "615" version for IC615, a "5141" version for IC5141 - there are different choices on downloads.cadence.com under ASSURA41)
    2. Set the UNIX env var ASSURAHOME to point to the installation directory of your Assura - e.g. "setenv ASSURAHOME /path/to/ASSURA41-615"
    3. The UNIX path set correctly, for example:
      set path =($ASSURAHOME/tools/bin $path)

    That's it. For Calibre, you should read the Mentor documentation - but it's a matter of setting appropriate UNIX env vars, setting up your path, and loading some code from your .cdsinit (if my memory is correct).

    Neither of these things is something that the PDK would take care of, I believe - it's more of a software installation/setup problem.

  •  Thank you very much Indeed Andrew.

  •  Guys,

     This didn't work for me. Do you need to have anything else in the .cdsinit etc?

     

  • Assura doesn't require anything in .cdsinit . Calibre probably does, but that's a question for Mentor.

    Make sure you're using an OA version of Assura with an OA version of Virtuoso or a CDB version with a CDB version of icfb (i..e pick the appropriate version of Assura when you install it).

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew, I would like to know in which file these information should I insert ? Is .cdsinit ? or .cdsenv ? Many thanks for your reply. Khalil

  • Khalil,

    I already explained further back what you need to do for Assura and that this doesn't need anything in .cdsinit/.cdsenv. All that needs is the UNIX env var $ASSURAHOME setting and the UNIX path setting so that assura can be found in the UNIX search path.

    For Calibre I can't answer as this is a Mentor Graphics tool not a Cadence tool -  you'd have to read their documentation or ask Mentor Graphics.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    I checked the ASSURA package and it's installed. I actually added the "UNIX path setting" in the bashrc file. My question is : Should I add also the "UNIX env var $ASSURAHOME setting" to the same file (bashrc) ? if not where should I add this command ?

    Many thanks.

    Khalil

  • Yes. That would be a sensible place to put it.
  • Hello again, and sorry for the multiple messages. Actually, I realized that, this is not ASSURA that i got but DRACULA which is very complicated. I would like to know why I didn't get ASSURA tab in cadence ?
    For information: I use cadence virtuoso IC6.1.4.485 and i installed 2 pakages of ASSURA : ASSURA 631 & ASSURA 41 (both give Dracula). Is there any incompatibility problem (between cadence version and Assura version) ? Kind regards, Khalil
