assura-QRC load issue - no technology file

ADJK
ADJK over 8 years ago

Tools version:

IC615.500.17 (32-bit)

assura 4.1_USR4_HF6

cadence extraction QRC -64bit version 12.1.1-p076

Issue: 

When I passed LVS, and finished setup QRC, click assura-QRC from the QRC icon in the toolbar. 

CIW shows the following message: 

"RCX-Init Begin"
 *WARNING* Form 'vuiRcxRunForm', scroll region 'vuiRCXFlowTab', field 'ruleSetField': Bad value "defualt".
   Cyclic value must be one in the list of choices.
"RCX-Init done"

The QRC window don't have technology selection.

Thank you very much. I am struggling for solving this issue for several days. I tried to updated the QRC version to PVS151, EXT151, EXT161. I also tried to updated to IC616.500. But they are not working at all.

    IC616.500.14, QRC version 15.1.4-s005 and PVS version 15.10-p023 has been updated.
    But the QRC menu in the toolbar has only one option "Load QRC menu..."
    The CIW shows the following message:
    "*WARNING* QRC_HOME environmental variable is set but UI can't locate correct QRC installation. In order to run UI in QRC compatibility mode you need to have QRC executables in your $PATH and QRC version should be 8.1 or greater."

    Please help me solve it. Thank you very much.

    Hi Stephen

    Thank you very much for providing the version numbers.

    a. For the Quantus form error, would you please try the following and let us know the result?
    - Enter the following in CIW:

    procdure( vuiUserDefinedRCXFormSetupCB(cv) t)

    I suspect that there is a problem with the current  vuiUserDefinedRCXFormSetupCB procedure which is being used to preset the form. Hence I would like to first disable it to see if it is indeed the cause of the problem.


    b. For the Quantus menu issue, would you please execute the following cmds in a terminal window and let us know the output?
    terminal> env | grep OA_HOME
    terminal> env | grep QRC_HOME
    terminal> which qrc


    Best regards
    Quek

    Hi, Quek.
    Thank you for your reply.
    Now I fixed the Quantus menu issue. This was because OA version of EXT151 (oa_v22.50.010) is different from that of my IC616 version( oa_v22.43.054). In my bashrc, I defined the OA_HOME=$IC616/oa_v22.43.054, which made the QRC menu having a UI problem. After I comment the definition of OA_HOME, the QRC menu is shown up.
    Now, using three commands as below the terminal will show the following info.
    env | grep OA_HOME has nothing in terminal
    env | grep QRC_HOME has the QRC_HOME=$XX/EXT151
    which qrc shows the $XX/EXT151/tools/bin/qrc

    However, when I passed LVS and run the Assura-Quantus QRC, the technology is still shown NONE option and I can't select.

    I appreciate your kind help.
    Stephen

    Hi, Quek.
    I also tried the command
    procedure( vuiUserDefinedRCXFormSetupCB(cv) t)
    The CIW showed that function vuiUserDefinedRCXFormSetupCB redefined
    But I still got the message: *WARNING* Form 'vuiRcxRunForm', scroll region 'vuiRCXFlowTab', field 'ruleSetField': Bad value "defualt".
    Cyclic value must be one in the list of choices.
    *Info* Ignoring peecMode from the state file

    The technology is still NONE option.

    In bachrc, I setup
    export QRC_HOME=$CAD_HOME/EXT151
    export PATH=$QRC_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export PATH=$QRC_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH

    I also tried to setup
    export QRC_HOME=$CAD_HOME/EXT151
    export PATH=$QRC_HOME/bin:$PATH
    #export PATH=$QRC_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH

    Do I need to do anything else to get the technology to select?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Stephen

    It is good to know that you have resolved the QRC menu issue. OA_HOME should not be used by customers.

    Would you please check if there is a file named ".qrc.Last.state" in the working directory? If yes, would you please remove it and let us know if it resolves the form error?


    Best regards

    Hi, Quek.
    Removing .qrc.Last.state doesn't work.
    Actually when I run PVS-QRC, it works and the QRC window has the right technology option.
    In the CIW, the template file was loaded successfully.
    But in Assura-QRC, the template file wasn't loaded correctly.
    Then it shows the warning:

    "*WARNING* Form 'vuiRcxRunForm', scroll region 'vuiRCXFlowTab', field 'ruleSetField': Bad value "defualt".
    Cyclic value must be one in the list of choices.
    *Info* Ignoring peecMode from the state file"

    Thank you. I am looking forward to your suggestions.

    Hi Stephan

    Would you please check the following?

    a. In your working directory, there should be either an "assura_tech.lib" or "pvtech.lib" file. It contains a line that points to the directory which contains "techRuleSets" file
    b. Open up "techRuleSets" file, do you see the typo "defualt" in the file? If yes, please correct it and retry Quantus


    Best regards
    Quek
