PDK Environment Checking unsuccessfully

Woodhouse
Woodhouse over 5 years ago

I followed PDK user initialize project setup by following steps:

copy display.drf, .cdsinit, cds.lib. assura_tech.lib, setup.loc, and pdk.csh from the PDK install directory to the design project process.

And then do

setenv PDK_INST_DIR /home/project

setenv CDS_TECH

setenv THICHNESS

setenv MIM_TECH

setenv HR_TECH

setenv SHRINK_TECH

setenv MOM_MODELE_PATH/MOM_TECH_NAME/MOM_INCLUDE_PATH

ln -s <PDK directory>/Models

ln -s <PDK directory>/Stream

and finally, source the PDK shell script by

source pdk.csh

However, when I try to open schematic, it shows PDK environment checking unsuccessfully.

and ask me to check 1. Install and configure Keysight Momentum&ADS properly; 2. Copy 'set.loc' and '.csdinit' from PDK install directory to your working directory.

I did copy them in the first step of initializing project setup. 

Regards,

Wood.

    Hi Wood,

    This is something specific to the PDK you're using (or it's something in the Keysight setup?). It's certainly nothing that Cadence tools are doing out of the box, so you'd need to check with the PDK provider for more details.

    Andrew.

    Hi buddy, which version you are using as of now would you mind telling? That would help find out solution faster.
