Assura LVS- Where should I specify RSF

nokta

Hello,
I imported a new library, umc130nm. I also defined it in assure_tech.lib file. While I try to do LVS, I choose these technology. But after I click to Apply/OK, I see this error:
Neirther extracted rules file nor RSF include file name was specified.
As I understand, Assura can not figure out where is my RSF file ( in RSF file I already specified my extract and compare rule files ). I copied RSF file to library for try but it did not work. Also I looked every file in library to fdin something but I could not find anything either. My question is where should I specify my RSF file in my library or Assura.
Thank you

    Hi nokta

    The usual Assura setup is as follows:

    a. Create an "assura_tech.lib" file in the working directory where you start Virtuoso

    b. The file should contain a line similar to this:
    define umc130nm /your-path/umc130nm

    c. In "/your-path/umc130nm" directory, there should be a file named "techRuleSets" which contains:

    ruleSet( "default"
         (DrcRules             "./assuraDRC.rul" )
         (LvsExtractRules      "./extract.rul" )
         (LvsCompareRules      "./compare.rul" )
         (LvsInclude           "./LVSinclude.rsf" )
    )

    You can specify your rsf file as shown above. Rather than specifying extract.rul and compare.rul files in the rsf file, it is better to just specify them in techRuleSets file as shown above


    Best regards

    Thank you Quek, it worked. But would you tell me, is there any way to learn this expect that asking here. In my library, there was no tectRuleSets file btw. I added it.

    Hi nokta

    You can also refer to "Setting Up Technology Data' chapter in $ASSURAHOME/doc/assuradev/assuradev.pdf (Assura Developer's Guide) for more info on techRuleSets file.
