PVS DRC using SVRF (debug help)

CRW1

I am trying to use PVS DRC with a Calibre deck. I've had success with this at one technology node (Foundry doesn't have native PVS decks available). Anyway, I have 1 syntax error showing up in the log.  However, this error doesn't show any line number or clue as to what might be causing the error.  I had some other errors, but the log showed their respective line numbers and I was able to comment out the particular offending rule for now (It'll have to be re-written).  So, my question... Is there a way to see where the syntax error is coming from (line #, etc.)?

I am running PVS 12.1.1-s695 and I've tried both command line and GUI, but neither shows me any more info in the log.

  • Example log outputs:

    This is the problematic one

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ****** Start processing file 'Test.cal' ******
    *** Error: "syntax error" ***
    ****** End processing file 'Test.cal' ******
    There are 1 errors in rule file.
    ************************************************************************
    [INPUT ERROR] Errors in rule file, program abort.

    Execution aborted.  Exiting with status 1.

    This was the helpful one

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ****** Start processing file 'Test.cal' ******
    *** Error: "syntax error" ***
    *** Error: "syntax error" ***
    *** Error: "No output layer specified for rule check GR645_V1 at line 477 in file [NAME REMOVED]." ***
    ****** End processing file 'Test.cal' ******
    There are 3 errors in rule file.
    ************************************************************************
    [INPUT ERROR] Errors in rule file, program abort.

    Execution aborted.  Exiting with status 1.

  • This is a question that's probably best asked to customer support. Without visibility of the files, it's hard to knw what the issue is.

  • Thanks, I'll submit a ticket. Thought maybe there was a switch I was missing to get more debug info in a log.
  • Hi, could you point me to instructions on how to use PVS DRC with a Calibre deck? Thanks.

  • See (there's a link there to another solution).
