soc encounter-sdc file error

shrene82

Hi friends

Iam working on cadence soc encounter.

Iam using the technology library from OSU AMI 0.5 u 

Consider the following vhdl code for byte multipleser

...............................................................................

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
 
entity bytemux is
port(       md : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
            sd : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
            be : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
     bytedata : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0));
end bytemux;
....................................... ...................................

i have the follwing sdc file

set sdc_version 1.5
# Set the current design
current_design bytemux

set_wire_load_mode "enclosed"
set_max_dynamic_power 450 uW

...................................................................

My RTL import was successful in soc encounter 8.1

But when i tried the RTL synthesis i get the following error

____________________________________________________________

Error   : A required object parameter could not be found. [TUI-61] [path_group]
        : An object of type 'instance|external_delay|clock|port|pin' named '' could not be found.
        : Check to make sure that the object exists and is of the correct type.  The 'what_is' command can be used to determine the type of an object.
  path_group: assigns certain paths to a cost group

Usage: path_group [-mode <mode>]
           [-from <instance|external_delay|clock|port|pin>+]
           [-through <instance|port|pin>+]+
           [-to <instance|external_delay|clock|port|pin>+] [-paths <string>]
           [-setup] [-hold] [-name <string>] -group <cost_group>
 

Can somebody let me know where the error is

I think i made a simple syntax error somewhere

    The tcl script of ec is shown below...

    This ec.tcl file is located inside n2n_input folder

    # creating cost/path-groups
    if {[llength [all::all_seqs]] > 0} {
      define_cost_group -name I2C -design $ec::MODULE
      define_cost_group -name C2O -design $ec::MODULE
      path_group -from [all::all_inps] -to [all::all_seqs] -group I2C -name I2C
      path_group -from [all::all_seqs] -to [all::all_outs] -group C2O -name C2O
    }
    define_cost_group -name I2O -design $ec::MODULE
    path_group -from [all::all_inps] -to [all::all_outs] -group I2O -name I2O


    As u said i have the if loop in the script.

     Also i have the r2g.tcl script which also gets executed and gets updated

    #####################################################################
    # Define cost groups (clock-clock, clock-output, input-clock, input-output)
    #####################################################################

    define_cost_group -name I2C
    define_cost_group -name C2O
    define_cost_group -name I2O
    define_cost_group -name C2C
    path_group -from [all des seqs] -to [all des seqs] -group C2C -name C2C
    path_group -from [all des seqs] -to [all des outs] -group C2O -name C2O
    path_group -from [all des inps] -to [all des seqs] -group I2C -name I2C
    path_group -from [all des inps] -to [all des outs] -group I2O -name I2O

     This r2g.tcl script is located inside the r2g_input folder

    But this does not have the if loop

    So can i say that th error is in the r2g.tcl script
