ADE XL setup not working properly.

FormerMember over 7 years ago

Hi.

I use IC6.1.7 - I've just setup the software, via installscape, and using my institutions license server. All of that is working.

I have a simple schematic that works fine simulating in ADE L , using a DC analysis. I am not using a config view.

I launch ADE-XL , the working tests from ADE-L are imported. However I cannot plot any results, like used to work in ADE-L.

I get the following messages (in red) in the CDS.log viewer, when I first launch the ADE-XL.

*Error* Cannot copy "" from "/home/andy/cadence/installs/IC617/sims/comparator_tb/spectre/schematic/netlist" to "/home/andy/cadence/installs/IC617/sims/stochasticADC/comparator_tb/adexl/results/data/.tmpADEDir_andy/stochasticADC:comparator_tb:1/stochasticADC_comparator_tb_schematic_spectre/netlist", cpDataDir call returned 0

(... in unknown ...)

(... in _axlImportADELTestInADEXL ...)

(... in unknown ...)

(... in _axlImportTestInADEXL ...)

_axlImportTestInADEXL('sevSession25 ?appName "ADE XL" ?tool "ADE")

Then when trying a single simulation run in ADE-XL I get:

*Error* Error during netlisting of design for the point ID (0 1).

("error" 1 t nil ("*Error* Cannot copy \"netlist into run netlist\" from \"/home/andy/cadence/installs/IC617/sims/stochasticADC/comparator_tb/adexl/results/data/Interactive.0/1/stochasticADC:comparator_tb:1/netlist\" to \"/home/andy/cadence/installs/IC617/sims/stochasticADC/comparator_tb/adexl/results/data/Interactive.0/psf/stochasticADC:comparator_tb:1/netlist\", cpDataDir call returned 0"))

ERROR (ADEXL-5025): Preparation to run the simulation is failed for the run Interactive.0, point 1, test stochasticADC:comparator_tb:1, received error:

This looks like the problem in article 20130330. Most likely you've put $CDSHOME/bin in your path only, and so it can't find the cpDataDir script in the installation. Currently there's a requirement that you (also) have $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/bin in your UNIX path too.

When I didn't have tools/dfII/bin in my path, I see this error, as well as getting:

sh: cpDataDir: command not found

appearing in the terminal window several times.

Can you try that?

Regards,

Andrew.
