*Error* eval: undefined function – hiGraphicMode

Duy Hien

Hi everyone,

I have encountered a new problem on Cadence: *Error* eval: undefined function – hiGraphicMode

This is solution suggested by Cadence [Virtuoso Custom Placement and Rounting Preparation Guide]:

Solution: Check that the pcells in your design do not use SKILL functions

■ That are not available to the translator

■ That work with window graphics

Alternatively, translate in foreground mode so that all necessary SKILL functions are available to the translator.

Can you explain to me what exactly I have to do, please?

Thank you so much.

  • You didn't give much to go on - for example, what exactly you were doing when the error occurred, and where it was reported.

    My guess is you're running some background program which is failing because there's a call to hiGraphicMode in the libInit.il of a library - this would be solved typically by ensuring the code does:

    when(isCallable('hiGraphicMode)
      ... the code which calls hiGraphicMode()
    )

    But hard to be more precise without some better pointers.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
