createSpareModule syntax

maxb

I am trying to use the createSpareModule command, but I can't seem to get the syntax right, especially for specifying the reset signal to connect to the spare flip-flops. The documentation and SourceLink entries doesn not contain any examples, just the generic syntax:

[-reset <netName>:<pinName> [<pinName>] ...]

Does anyone have an example of how to specify this correctly?

  • I get various errors, many of them referring to a signal name which I did not give as being invalid. This makes it hard to trust the output of the tool even when it is referring to the same signal I gave it. See examples below. This problem occurs, although with different outputs, both when using script and interactive mode.

    I suspect it is the colon symbol which is causing the trouble, but I don't know why or how to get around it.

    createSpareModule -moduleName ModuleSpare_1 -cell { DFSC1 1} -reset "rctl_rst_an:RN"
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'rctl_rst_aneld' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.

    createSpareModule -moduleName test -cell { DFSC1 1 } -reset "rctl_rst_an:RN"
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'rctl_rst_an *' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.

    createSpareModule -moduleName test12 -cell { DFSC1 1} -reset rctl_rst_an:RN
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'rctl_rst_antate' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.

    createSpareModule -moduleName test4 -cell { DFSC1 1 } -reset "u_rctl/u1_synchronizer/q_reg/Q:RN"
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'u_rctl/u1_synchronizer/q_reg/Qreg[4]' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.

    createSpareModule -moduleName test15 -cell { DFSC1 1} -reset {rctl_rst_an:RN}
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'rctl_rst_antate' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.

    createSpareModule -moduleName test14 -cell { DFSC1 1} -reset {non_existing_signal:RN}
    **WARN: (SOCSP-5519):   Provided reset net name 'non_existing_signal' is not valid. Reset net information will be ignored.
