*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.

  •  As I mentioned, in this case it won't matter whether you use getd or isCallable (because hiGraphicMode will be defined (or not) as soon as the application starts).

    The LVS error is almost certainly nothing to do with this error - all that would result in is that it doesn't set a particular cdsenv setting - and that wouldn't affect LVS. So the error was non-critical in this case.

    So your LVS error is simply that you have an LVS error - a missing port. You'll have to debug that as usual (and as it's a Calibre error, I can't really help you, since it's not a Cadence product and I only have limited Mentor Calibre experience).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
