    The most amazing is this error won't occur with the usage of UMC technology. This error occurs with the usage of TSMC technology models.

    This article gives some info on how to debug this problem: Liberate prompts SYSTEM ERROR - could not execute command

    If that doesn't help, please contact customer support.

    Regards.

    Thanks for your suggestion ! After I debug just as the solution, there is no errror accuring in the spectre output log file but some warning.

    Warning from spectre during circuit read-in.
    WARNING (SFE-1134): "/tmp/altos.VLSI-01.T20190522180417997308S0059505.0/sim.sp" 300: Unexpected value '1' - expected option name: skipped.

    Warning from spectre during hierarchy flattening.

    Hi fengye,

    Yes, contact customer support as I suggested earlier. I'm out of the office this week (and I'm not a Liberate expert anyway), so my opportunity to investigate is rather limited. By contacting support, you'll get to somebody with the correct product expertise.

    Andrew.
