Eco help

rdohanyos

I have the original database (enc.dat) file and the verilog file. When I restore it I get all the routing back, but the cells aren't placed where they were previously.  They are just placed off to the side in big blocks.

**ERROR: (SOCSP-503):   Design must be placed before running "ecoDesign -postMask -modifyOnlyLayers M1:M2 ************_enc.dat cellname_here ************_p2.v".

Basically I don't have any spare cells defined we are just making a change to how a few gates are wired.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks

  •  Your command looks correct. Make sure that the ecoDesign command is the FIRST thing you do when encounter comes up. Don't have a database already loaded. Another thing to try is just to restore your enc.dat design and make sure the placement looks ok. Maybe there is a problem with the starting database.
