My ADE L gives error of not being able to descend into any of the views

Svilen64

Hi,

I have a verilogA model and I'm trying to use it in my simulations. However, it gives me a netlisting error, saying it can't find the view. I don't really know how to handle this since I already have veriloga view defined in Setup > Environment > Switch View List in my ADE L. It happens even if I'm trying to use verilogA models from Cadence's own libraries.  The error message is:

Unable to descend into any of the views defined in the view list, 'spectre auCdl schematic', for the instance I0...Add one of these views to the cell... or modify the view list so that it contains an existing view.

Any suggestions how to fix it are welcome.

Thanks

Svilen

  • Dear Svilen64,

    From your error message:

     Unable to descend into any of the views defined in the view list, 'spectre auCdl schematic', for the instance I0...Add one of these views to the cell... or modify the view list so that it contains an existing view.  

    In your error message, it appears you have not set your views to allow the config view to descend into a behavioral view (such as veriloga). Did you include "behavioral" or "veriloga" as one your views? Your post suggests you have, but the error message clearly indicates the netlister is not finding it. Did you include the library you have the view in to search?

    Might you include the full config view and its  settings if you still think you are?

    Hi Shawn,

    Thanks for replying.

    As I mentioned in my previous comment, I have included the veriloga view in the switch view list in ADE L. I initially simulated without creating a config view, I didn't need one. Since I got the error, I also created the config view and with it everything was ok and I was able to netlist. But obviously something is broken since it doesn't work without the config.

    Thanks

    Great!

    In my opinion, when you are dealing with a number of different view types, using the hierarchy editor and a config view is far more efficient and a far less error prone method than using ADE-L. Further, as you may know, ADE-L is no longer supported by Cadence. I would highly suggest you consider migrating to ADE-Explorer/Assembler. The migration process is very easy as you can import an ADE-L state into Explorer/Assembler to automatically create the new maestro database they both share.
