Xvfb installation error

Hi All,

I am trying to run reliability simulation using IC618 ADE-XL where I am getting the below Xvfb ERROR.

Though I have approached IT team for resolution (which is taking time) is there a workaround so that  I can run reliability simulation using ADE-XL or higher versions of ADE ?

Using ADE doesn't give this error but I cannot perform HB simulations with reliability turned on using simple ADE-L. I need to check the impact on PAE etc... using the reliability simulations.

Spectre version is 20.1

Any solution will be great help.

regards

    No, you'll need to fix this. You could run single simulations without needing Xvfb, but that's not going to help you since reliability analysis requires more than one simulation.

    The requirement to update to use Xvfb has been there for some time, but there came a point that we had to stop supporting the old way that didn't use Xvfb (it used a version of VNC). 

    You should also move to using ADE Explorer/Assembler. I think you'll also need Legato Reliabilty Solution licenses to run the RF analyses with reliability analysis - hopefully you have access to that too.

    thank you very much for the reply Andrew, so is there no way to check PAE variation with reliability analysis turned on in ADE-L ?

    You already posted the dialog box telling you that this is not supported, so no.
