LOAD LEF FILE FAILED ST 65nm

BASELIO

HI

I am trying to setup soc encounter to use ST 65nm technology,  I am not sure which LEF files to use for this purpose I have tried a few and I keep getting an error LOAD LEF FILE FAILED

Does anyone have an idea which files to use? ,

I am aware that we ned to use the technology lef first folowed by a stnadard cell library 

  • What LEF files do you have (different technologies may have different sets)? Can you provide any more information about the error? Does it give a file and/or line number or a particular keyword that it is failing on?

  • Hi

    Here is the error I am getting

     **ERROR: **ERROR: (SOCSYT-16013):   Load LEF file /home/bh9/mydesign/pnrST65/../../../esdcad/designkits/st/st065/v4.2.1/CLOCK65LPHVT_SNPS-AVT-CDS_2.1/CADENCE/LEF/CLOCK65LPHVT_soc.lef failed

    I attached below alist if the LEF files provided with the technology library, I get the same error when I try other files as well such as (./CORL65LPSVT_SNPS-AVT-CDS_4.0/CADENCE/LEF/CORL65LPSVT_soc.lef    and  ./CORL65LPSVT_SNPS-AVT-CDS_4.0/LEF/CORL65LPSVT.lef)

  • Unfortunately, with that many LEF files, there's really now way to tell from just a list to tell how they are all supposed to be used or in what order they should be loaded. You probably need to find some documentation or get help from the technology kit developer.

     

    Sorry I'm not more help.

  •  I dont think you can use CLOCKLPHVT since it is not suggested by ST.
