MMSIM Issue with IC5141

Bilal Porto
Bilal Porto over 8 years ago

I was using IC5141 on CentOS 64bit with MMSIM 12. The problem was that mmsim was defined prior to IC tools. my script looked something like following :

setenv MMSIM_12_11        ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/mmsim            
set path=(    \
    $MMSIM_12_11/bin\
    ${path}\
    )
set path=(    \
    $MMSIM_12_11/tools/bin\
    ${path}\
    )


# Set environmental variables and paths for IC_5.1.41HF151 and tools
set path = (~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/mmsim/bin $path)
setenv  CDS_ROOT                ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1
setenv     CDS_INST_DIR        ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1            # Basic Cadence (i.e. IC tools)
setenv     CDSDIR             ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1            # IC tools (composer, virtuoso, etc.)
setenv     CDS_INSTALL_DIR     ${CDS_INST_DIR}/tools/dfII
setenv     CDSHOME         $CDS_INST_DIR
setenv     EDI               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/edi9.12            # SOC Encounter place and route
#setenv IUS               $base_dir/IUS-F08                    # Verilog simulators
setenv     ETS               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ets9_1            # Encounter Library Characterizer, Timing
setenv     ET               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ets9_1            # Encounter Test system
setenv     RC                ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/RC             # RTL Compiler synthesis

set path=(    \
    $CDS_ROOT\
    $CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/dfII/bin\
    $EDI/bin\
    $ETS/bin\
    $ET/tools.lnx86/bin\
    $RC/bin\
    ${path}\
    )

It apparently was working fine but when i checked with command spectre -W, it showed sub-version  5.10.41.121508 .

Now if i define MMSIM path after IC tools, i get in terminal for spectre version sub-version  12.1.1.096.isr12

but in CIW, it is giving error.

I understand that this problem is coming from mmsim/bin/cds_root. but cannot understand why. Please help me with it.
