problem with loading a DEF file

MiladSh
MiladSh over 8 years ago

Hi,

I've run a placement algorithm and now I want to calculate the delay of the specific path in design.

I'm using the same LEF file but when I want to load the DEF file to SoC, it shows the error: SOCSYT-16302.

In general, is it possible to load a DEF file that hasn't been generated by SoC?

Regards

Milad

    If you have routed and extracted, then do:
    report_timing -from startFlop/Q -to endFlop/D
    where startFlop and endFlop will be your particular instance names of course. There are lots of different options to report_timing, so check the command reference for what you specifically need. But this will sum up the timing path for you as well as list the cell/net delay info line by line (you may need to do report_timing -net to get separate lines for the nets).
