Cannot generate the EMIR report using 'emirreport'

aalbason

Hello all,

I running an EMIR analysis and to the extent of my knowledge I have the proper files and setup needed, but I could be wrong also. I get stumped at the end when the report generation fails.

The error message I get is:

Error found by spectre during transient analysis `tran'.
ERROR (EMIR-1901): Cannot generate the EMIR report using 'emirreport' because the command

'/appl/cadence/mmsim/MMSIM23.10.802/bin/emirreport -mt 8 -64 -c /home/team_proj/workareas/EIC2_LNR28LPP/al.albason/sim_run/tb_clk_skew_cal_diff/spectre/schematic/netlist/emir.conf -db /home/team_proj/workareas/EIC2_LNR28LPP/al.albason/sim_run/tb_clk_skew_cal_diff/spectre/schematic/netlist/../psf/input.emir0_bin -log /home/team_proj/workareas/EIC2_LNR28LPP/al.albason/sim_run/tb_clk_skew_cal_diff/spectre/schematic/netlist/../psf/input.vxfilog -outdir /home/team_proj/workareas/EIC2_LNR28LPP/al.albason/sim_run/tb_clk_skew_cal_diff/spectre/schematic/netlist/../psf/'

I am not really sure what is causing it since the input.vxfilog has one vague line mentioning an error:

ERROR: Received Segmentation fault signal.

Virtuoso version: IC6.1.8-64b.500.36

MMSIM version: MMSIM23.10.802

Thanks,

Alfonso

    Hi Alfonso,

    Please run emirreport step manually on the command-line. Do you see any errors printed in the terminal? You can copy the exact command from Spectre log.

    emirreport -64 -mt 8 -c ....

    Regards,

    Waiting for the checkout of license 'Voltus_XFi_Analysis' ............................................................. ......


    So I take it that the error is caused because of the lack of Voltus_Fi license?

    Thanks,

    Hi Alfonso,

    Yes, that's the reason emirreport is erroring out.
