LVS Problem running Fedora 19

ziikzak

It seems that all the installation and configuration process using 
Installscape are finished without problem, since my schematic simulation and DRC run very well, but I encounter an error message like the following when I try to work on LVS.

 

virtuoso:   ERROR: The command /tools/cadence/IC610/share/oa/bin/ 
sysname returned an error status: 
                            unknown 
virtuoso:    INFO: Note that OpenAccess (OA) requires running the 
Configure phase. 
virtuoso:          See the "OpenAccess Installation and Configuration 
Guide" before 
virtuoso:          you complete the configuration step. This manual is 
included with 
virtuoso:          the Cadence product documentation. 

Thanks in advance you guys 

  • Hi ziikzak

    Would you please confirm the following?
    a. Are you able to start Virtuoso without any errors/warnings in CDS.log file?
    b. What is the version of Virtuoso? (virtuoso -W)
    c. Are you running Diva, Assura, Calibre or ... for DRC/LVS?
    d. Are there any warnings about OA installation when running DRC?

    It looks like a re-installation of IC61 package might be the easiest solution.

    Best regards

  • Also, do you have $OA_HOME set? Type "env | grep OA" in your terminal window. What does "ls -l <ICinstDir>/share/oa" show?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Querk,  

    a. I did not see any error message in CDS.log

    b. my version is IC 6.1.5

    c. I run Assura for DRC/LVS

    d. No, running DRC is always easy  

  • Hi ziikzak

    Thanks for the info. As suggested by Andrew, would you also please check the following?

    terminal>env | grep OA_HOME

    Is OA_HOME variable set? If it is set, please unset it and retry LVS.

    Best regards
    Quek

  •  Yes, I did, and my terminal window did not show any thing. 

  • Hi ziikzak

    Would you please try the following?

    a. Open Assura LVS form
    b. Press the "View rsf" file button and save the file as "lvs.rsf"
    c. Execute LVS in a terminal window

    terminal>assura lvs.rsf

    Do you still see the same OA error?

    Best regards
    Quek

  • Hi, 

    I mean when i run env|OA_HOME, i did not see any respone.

  • Hi ziikzak

    Thanks for the clarification. It means that OA_HOME has not been set. Would you please try "assura lvs.rsf"?

    Best regards
    Quek

  • Note that Fedora 19 is absolutely not a supported OS, and my guess is that you may be hitting an issue we saw where OA cannot identify the platform properly. First try using absolutely the latest IC and ASSURA versions (latest hotfixes of both, for the IC616 version) and if it still doesn't work you'll probably need to move to a supported OS (eg RHEL 6).

    Regards,

    Andrew 

  • yes, I tried.
