Assura LVS using: setenv OA_UNSUPPORTED_PLAT linux_rhel40_gcc44x

I am having an LVS problem and I noticed this post.  I am not sure if anyone is still around (based upon the 2010 responses) to reply.

At the end of the lvs report I have the following message:

Preprocessing layout network phase 2
*ERROR* Device 'pfet(Generic)' on Schematic is unbound to any Layout device.
*ERROR* Device 'nfet(Generic)' on Schematic is unbound to any Layout device.
*ERROR* UnBound devices found.
Info: All devices must be bound or filtered for comparison to be run.
Exiting nvn.

It implies that I have devices in the schematic which cannot be matched to a layout device.  I have tried this in calibre and succeeded in getting a clean LVS; so I know the layout and schematic do match.  I would like to have assura working as well.  One possible issue is in the use of multiplicity; m>1 for every transistor in the schematic.   The LVS checks using assura for devices which have m=1 have worked.  Is it possible to fix this problem ?

    Hi Quek,

    Unfortunately, I can see that there is a way to upload media; but not an ascii file.  So, I have copied it.

    best regards,

    alan
