PCell Evaluation failed on GDS Stream out.

Hello All,

i have the following Problem, then i try to stream out a PCell i am working on, i get the following error from Virtuoso:

*WARNING* (DB-270001): Pcell evaluation for SG25_dev/sealring_complete/layout has the following error(s):

*WARNING* (DB-270002): ("eval" 0 t nil ("*Error* eval: unbound variable" PDK_LIBRARY))

*WARNING* (DB-270003): Error kept in "errorDesc" property of the label "pcellEvalFailed" on layer/purpose "marker/error" in the submaster.

ERROR (XOASIS-231): Pcell evaluation failed for 'SG25_dev/sealring_complete/layout' because the Pcell SKILL code contains either a syntax error or an unsupported XOasis function. Check the standard output or the Virtuoso log file for more information. Either correct the Pcell SKILL code or ignore the error by enabling the 'ignorePcellEvalFail' option for XOasis Out.

But then i load the Skill code no error is reportet, in the Layout view no marker is found.

load "sealring_complete.il"

Generating Pcell for 'sealring_complete layout'.

t

Also boundp reports that PDK_LIBRARY exists and printing the Content of PDK_LIBRARY shows a correct value.

boundp('PDK_LIBRARY)

t

dprint PDK_LIBRARY

PDK_LIBRARY = "SG25_dev"

t

Best Regards,

    Hi All,

    i talked with my colleagues, after trying to put PDK_LIBRARY into libInit instead of cdsinit it seems to work fine now.

    Thanks to Max for the help and pointing us at the right direction.

    Best Regards,

    Christian
