Config for .cshrc of Cadence IC615

Duy Hien

Hi everyone,

I have installed Cadence IC615 on a Linux systems. Base on the Cadence source file of IC5141, I create my own Cadence source for IC615 (named cadence615). Please take a look at my config: 

setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
setenv CDS_LIC_FILE xxxx@local_host:xxxx@local_host

setenv SPECTRE_DEFAULTS "-E"

#setenv ASSURAHOME /tools/Cadence/ASSURA412
setenv ASSURAHOME /tools/Cadence/ASSURA414
set path = ($path $ASSURAHOME/tools/bin $ASSURAHOME/tools/assura/bin)
setenv LANG C
setenv SUBSTRATESTORMHOME $ASSURAHOME

#setenv MGC_HOME /tools/Mentor/calibre1302/ixl_cal_2013.2_18.13
setenv MGC_HOME /tools/Mentor/calibre1204/ixl_cal_2012.4_16.11
#setenv MGLS_LICENSE_FILE xxxx@local_host
set path = ($MGC_HOME/bin $path)

setenv MMSIM_HOME /tools/Cadence/MMSIM10.11
set path = ($path $MMSIM_HOME/tools/bin $MMSIM_HOME/tools/dfII/bin )

setenv IC_HOME /tools/Cadence/IC615
set path = ($path $IC_HOME/tools/bin $IC_HOME/tools/dfII/bin)
#setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0

#setenv EXT09_HOME /tools/Cadence/EXT09
#set path = ($path $EXT09_HOME/tools/bin $EXT09_HOME/tools/dfII/bin)
setenv IUS_HOME /tools/Cadence/IUS82
set path = ($path $IUS_HOME/tools/bin)

#setenv EXT_HOME /tools/Cadence/EXT8
#set path = ($path $EXT_HOME/tools/bin)
set path = ($path /tools/Cadence/IS/iscape/bin)

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $IC_HOME/tools/lib/ 
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $CDS_LIC_FILE
 
I can run Cadence:
$ source cadence615
$ virtuoso &
I'm not sure these codes are correct or not. Please give me some advice. Thank in advanced.

  • A few observations:

    1. You don't need to set SUBSTRATESTORMHOME these days. In fact that may be why you're getting those sna.cxt warnings
    2. You should not need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include tools/lib from the IC stream
    3. There's no need to set LM_LICENSE_FILE as well as CDS_LIC_FILE - in fact that can cause it to be slower in the case of it checking for a license that you don't have.
    4. You do appear to be using some old versions - so why are you using MMSIM10.11 and IUS82? For MMSIM there have been MMSIM11.1, 12.1 and 13.1 since then, and for IUS (now INCISIV), there have been (at least) INCISIV92,102,111,121,122 and 131 since then - so it is ancient.
    5. Not sure you necessarily need SPECTRE_DEFAULTS set - that is probably dependent upon your PDK.
    6. I wouldn't have thought most users need iscape in the path.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Thank Andrew,
