About gpdk045 ver4.0 and Assura

analogy
analogy over 10 years ago

So we recently updated to gpdk045 version 4.0 .With the same update since we would need QRC, we would have to update from ASSURA41 to ASSURA616. The question is, where exactly do we have to make changes to integrate ASSURA616 with Cadence Virtuoso IC616 ?

    Also, does anybody make anything out of this log file (this is with Assura41 as we haven't fully integrated  Assura616 with existing Cadence IC616)?

    I'm assuming you've got beyond this now since it was a while ago, but it simply looks as if there was a problem with the license setup.

    And for the first question (I'm reading these in reverse, sorry), it's just a matter of ensuring that the ASSURA41-616 version is in your UNIX path first, and $ASSURAHOME points to the root of the ASSURA41-616 installation. Nothing special other than that (that's the same process for any release of ASSURA).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Yes.We had to reboot our daemon license machine. We ended up using Assura41 since one of our senior Professor thought - " If it ain't broke , don't fix it"

    I assume you mean that you didn't update to ASSURA41-616 (and stuck with ASSURA41-615)? There is only ASSURA41 currently - but there are different versions built to match the corresponding IC version. Generally it's recommended to make sure they match, but you can often get away with it if they don't...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
