Elaboration error using makelib

sitanshu
sitanshu over 15 years ago

Hi,

STEPS: 

(1) I am trying to precompile libraries before simulation into different directories using the -makelib option.

 %irun -c -ovm -makelib /home/LIB -f list_of_files.v -endlib top_design.v -64bit

This step is okay.

 

 (2) Now I use reflib to access the precompiled libraries and compile/elaborate the design and the test bench, from a different folder(/home/test/test1)

%irun -c -64bit -ovm -sv -gcc_vers 3.2.3 -reflib /home/LIB -reflib /home/INCA_libs -f bench_files.v -v top_design.v

 Problem is in this step.

When I run this command I get elaboration error

         Building instance overlay tables: ................... Done
        Loading native compiled code:     .................... Done
        Building instance specific data structures.
ncelab: *F,INTERR: INTERNAL ERROR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The tool has encountered an unexpected condition and must exit.
Contact Cadence Design Systems customer support about this
problem and provide enough information to help us reproduce it,
including the logfile that contains this error message.
  TOOL: ncelab(64)      08.10-s007

  MESSAGE: cuv_dv_pconnections - not expanded###
-----------------------------------------------------------------
irun: *E,ELBERR: Error during elaboration (status 255), exiting.

Any insight into this would be really helpful.

 

Thanks,

Sitanshu 

 

PS: I am using IUS 8.1

    Well, you don't have update the tools to look at dates or timestamps. But you do have to have access to support.cadence.com or downloads.cadence.com to look up the latest version. The s017 means (roughly) that this software is the 17th hot-fix (or revision) to the base IUS 8.1 software release.

     If you don't have access to downloads.cadence.com, you can look at the timestamp on your executable. Since the s007 hot-fix to IUS 8.1 was released sometime in 2008, there have been a lot of changes to the software in the past year and a half. 

    I have seen this particular error message in the past, and it was a bug in the Cadence software. But they fixed the earlier occurences of the problem. So I'd recommend that you try the latest software to see if those earlier fixes also addressed your problem.
