EDI -> Empty Modules

Terry2000
Terry2000 over 12 years ago

Hello, 

First run through EDI 12.00 and I'm having a few teething problems.

Successfully synthesised the RTL to verilog netlist but when I import the design I'm getting the following warnings (all standard cells are in the verilog netlist are listed, I've trucated the listing for the post).

I've checked the LEF and the cells are included.

 Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

**WARN: (ENCDB-2504):    Cell OR6M2XM is instantiated in the Verilog netlist, but is not defined.
**WARN: (ENCDB-2504):   Cell OR4M1XM is instantiated in the Verilog netlist, but is not defined.
**WARN: (ENCDB-2504):   Cell NR3M1XM is instantiated in the Verilog netlist, but is not defined.
**WARN: (ENCDB-2504):   Cell AO31M2XM is instantiated in the Verilog netlist, but is not defined.
**WARN: (ENCDB-2504):   Cell DFQRM1XM is instantiated in the Verilog netlist, but is not defined.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply, good point because I can't see the lef being read in the log. The lef file however is being correctly add to the form.

    I've added a snippet of the log file and a snippet of the lef file.  I'm no expert on lef files, does it look correct?

    Log file ->
