voltus-fi with tsmc qrcTechFile

royt

Hi

I have a question on voltus-fi with tsmc qrcTechFile.  I am using the following version:

Voltus-Fi version being used is as follows:
******************************************************************
 Voltus-Fi batch mode application (64-bit) - High Capacity Power IR/EM - v06.17-e215_1 ((08/22/2016 17:32:20))

When I use the tsmc reference flow qrcTechFile, I got em and ir reported generated properly.  But when I use the pdk qrcTechFile, no em ir report is generated and there is just this warning message from the log file.

Warning from spectre during transient analysis `tran', during Reliability Analysis `rel'.
    WARNING (EMIR-2603): Failed to run command line: '/server/cad/tools/cadence/SPECTRE161/bin/emirreport -64 -c /server/home/rtang/simulation/rt_scratch3/tb_inv/maestro_she_bad/results/maestro/ExplorerRun.0/2/rt_scratch3:tb_inv:1/netlist/emir.conf -db /server/home/rtang/simulation/rt_scratch3/tb_inv/maestro_she_bad/results/maestro/ExplorerRun.0/2/rt_scratch3:tb_inv:1/netlist/../psf/input.emir0_bin -outdir /server/home/rtang/simulation/rt_scratch3/tb_inv/maestro_she_bad/results/maestro/ExplorerRun.0/2/rt_scratch3:tb_inv:1/netlist/../psf/'. Can not generate EMIR report with emirreport.

I ran the Techgen -tech_version and noticed the 2 qrcTechFile's version are different:

Techgen -tech_version qrcTechFile_pdk


 CADENCE TECHFILE FORMAT  (RC) (BASE) 16.1.1-s134 2017/3/14,19:8:44/14,19:8:44

Techgen -tech_version qrcTechFile_reflow


 CADENCE TECHFILE FORMAT  (RC) (BASE) 15.2.4-s462 2016/8/25,4:47:11/25,4:47:11

I wonder if the reason I am not getting a report from pdk qrcTechFile is due to voltus fi version not compatible?

Thanks,

Ray

    Ray,

    There are a number of possible reasons why this might occur - our suggestion is to contact customer support, and in particular provide the vfi.log file which gets generated in the netlist directory.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
