INNOVUS sroute error: not a CUT LAYER

Bowen Xia

I'm using INNOVUS20.17 to P&R on .13 SiGe BiCMOS technology. The tech lib are converted from LEF file to OA with the lef2oa command. When I'm doing the power planning, the sroute command gives me some error message and leave all the power pins unconnected. It seems that the DB technology information is not properly loaded. How can I debug it? Thanks.

sroute -connect {padPin} -allowJogging 0 -allowLayerChange 0

Begin option processing ...
srouteConnectPowerBump set to false
routeSpecial set to true
srouteConnectBlockPin set to false
srouteConnectConverterPin set to false
srouteConnectCorePin set to false
srouteConnectStripe set to false
srouteFollowCorePinEnd set to 3
srouteFollowPadPin set to false
srouteNoLayerChangeRoute set to true
sroutePadPinAllPorts set to true
sroutePreserveExistingRoutes set to true
srouteRoutePowerBarPortOnBothDir set to true
srouteStraightConnections set to "straightWithDrcClean"

    By the way, the NanoRouter is not affected, all other place and route steps are fine. Only the power routing are missing.
