Problem in reading-in in Spectre

SaeedR

 Hi dear fellows,

 I just upgraded my Cadence from version 5 to 6. In version 5, there was a portAdapter componentwhich was in rfExamples library. After upgrading to version 6 and adding the same library, I can still drag and drop the portAdapter to the schematic but there is a problem while doing the simulation. The error after any simulation is as follows:

 Error found by spectre in `portAdapter', during circuit read-in.

Would you please let me know if you had this problem befroe and how you figured it out.

 

Thanks

    Hi Saeed,

    That version is the base version of IC615. For various reasons that I outlined earlier, we didn't start supporting 64-bit Virtuoso on RHEL6 (which is what you appear to be using, or at least a similar kernel version) until IC615 ISR12 (6.1.5.500.12). So you will need to either run in 32 bit mode (turn off $CDS_AUTO_64BIT or pass -32 on the command line), or move to a more recent hotfix of IC615 or use IC616.

    See solution 11816774 for more details.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
