How to fix *WARNING* The number of errors was detected in Extract Tab: 1 in Calibre QRC run.

Marben
Marben over 6 years ago

Hi All,

I am trying to run Calibre Quantus QRC,

First I make a QRC command file name "tech.def".

Here is my code:
DEFINE pex_tech /home/marben/Desktop/Components/Calibre/PARASITIC/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB_FuncCmax_Detailed

process_technology
-technology_library_file /home/marben/Desktop/Components/Calibre/PARASITIC/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB_Nominal_Copied_Detailed/tech.def
-technology_name pex_tech
-ruleset_name /home/marben/Desktop/Components/Calibre/PARASITIC/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB/CMOS55LPE_5_00_01_00_LB_Nominal_Copied_Detailed/lvsfile

But I have an error in CIW like this:

*WARNING* The number of errors was detected in Extract Tab: 1

I also got an error in CIW like this.

Please help me.

Best regards,

Marben

    Hi Quek,

    I asked in Mentor support.

    The error "ERROR(130): Incorrect MASK SVDB DIRECTORY options for this function." is gone affter

    adding "MASK SVDB DIRECTORY "svdb" QUERY CCI" to my LVS rule deck.

    And click the checkbox "Generate Calibre Connectivity Interface data"  in calibre Outputs tab.

    Then I click Run LVS and run query.

    I now have an spi file generated in my query output folder.

    But, still calibre qrc runs failed.

    Please help.

    Best regards,

    Marben

    Hi Quek,
    I copied Design_pin_xy.spi to r1_pin_xy.spi,
    The error "ERROR (AGDPRP-31003): can't open /home/marben/query_output/query_output/r1_pin_xy.spi" is gone.
    Here is now my error.
    ERROR (AGDPRP-31040): output_setup -net_name_space "SCHEMATIC" is not supported with extract-only data. Specify output_setup -net_name_space "LAYOUT" instead.

    Please help.
    Best regards,
    Marben

    Hi Marben

    Thanks for the update. Here are my comments:

    a. Now we know that your "MASK SVDB ..." cmd in the Calibre LVS deck was overwritten by the cmd which was generated by the Calibre LVS form. Thanks for solving the problem. The query output looks correct now

    b. In "Run Details" tab in Quantus form, the run name should be "Design" and not "r1". Would you please change it and re-run extraction?


    Best regards
    Quek

    Hi Marben

    I think the error has already changed.Previously we had this error:

    >>> ERROR (AGDPRP-31003): can't open /home/marben/query_output/query_output/r1_pin_xy.spi
    This has already been resolved by setting "Run Name" as "Design"

    Now we have this error:
    >>> ERROR (AGDPRP-31040): output_setup -net_name_space "SCHEMATIC" is not supported with extract-only data. Specify output_setup -net_name_space "LAYOUT" instead.

    This is really quite strange. Although we can resolve the error by using "Layout" namespace in "Netlisting" tab, it should not be necessary. It seems that you had executed Calibre using "calibre -lvs" and not "calibre -ext" and hence the data should not be "extract-only".

    Would you please file a case to Cadence support centre so that they can have a look at it?

    Thanks
    Quek
