DEFT

samer1

I want to use the DEFT feature in Cadence. I went to tool>technology file manager> and then this little form showed up that has things like dump....etc. There should be DEFT under the edit option. I cannot find it, however. I checked the software package I have and DEFT seems to be installed. 

Any idea how I can handle this? I want to DEFT tool to show up in that form or in general I want to be able to use it. 

Thanks

SHerif

    Sherif,

    You didn't mention which IC version you're using, but my guess is that it's IC617. DEFT has been removed from the form in IC617 as the first step along the way to it being removed altogether. You can either contact customer support to find out how to access it in IC617, or use IC616 in the meantime.

    There is a plan for a new tool to replace it, but it's not been released yet.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew.

    Actually it is IC616. And I can see DEFT in the software packages available but it seems like Cadence is unable to see it. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can make it work?

    Do I have to modify something in startcad?

    Which IC616 subversion are you using? You can find this from Help->About or by typing getVersion(t) in the CIW. I tried in ISR14 (IC6.1.6.500.14) and as far as I can see (from the code as well) it should definitely appear.

    I don't know what "startcad" is - presumably something in your own environment?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
