Encounter buffer footprint

archive

When I import design in Encounter, I get warnings as follows:

**WARN: "BF" is neither a footprint or a cell that belongs to a footprint.
Set "buf" cell/footprint to "BF".
**WARN: "IV" is neither a footprint or a cell that belongs to a footprint.
Set "inv" cell/footprint to "IV".

If I ignore the warnings and continue, then I get these errors:

**ERROR: buffer footprint is not found!
**ERROR: *** Buffer footprint is not specified.

I've tried using library cells such as CTBUFHVTX4 and CTIVHVTX4, but still get the same warnings.

Could someone help me with this problem please? Thanks in advance.

  • Luc,

    you're awesome, I think it worked. i am still waiting for the tool to finish the job. but it passed that critical part. i just replaced the footprints without using setupFootPrint.

    I am not sure if we have access to a newer version. anyway, I am using STM CMOS90nm technology for Encounter. In this tech, the buffer cells are "BFLVTX2 BFLVTX4 BFLVTX6 BFLVTX8 BFLVTX10 BFLVTX12". however, after entering A+ZA as footprint, the tool realized 51 candidates for bufer.

    I will update the post after getting the final result.

    Thanks,
    Ali
