Facing issue while running ncelab step after ncverilog

Hello,


I am facing this issue while running ncelab step. I have ran ncverilog and it passed .

I am running it from the command line and i am getting the following error

DEFINE lib_std /home/np959/CADENV_HOME/worklib/libraries/slow_vdd1v2_basicCells.lib
|
ncelab: *W,DLCPTH (./cds.lib,6): cds.lib Invalid path '/home/np959/CADENV_HOME/worklib/libraries/slow_vdd1v2_basicCells.lib' (cds.lib command ignored).
ncelab: *E,NOUNIT: Unable to find a unit named 'worklib.count16' in the libraries.

I am running the following command :

ncelab worklib.count16
The verilog file - count16.v and the testbench name is count16_tb.v .

Please let me know where i am going wrong. and incase if someone can list down the commands in the order , may be i am going through wrong steps.

Regards

Tanvi

    Are you new to the Incisive tools? If so, I would recommend that you use the "irun" command instead of the legacy "ncverilog" and "ncelab" commands, as you'll find it much easier with irun. If you're only compiling the 2 files you mentioned, then the irun command would be "irun count16.v count16_tb.v", and this would compile, elaborate and simulate the code.

    From the simple ncelab command you quoted it's not possible to say what's caused your problem. The ncverilog command actually does an elaboration for you, unless you tell it not to, so your ncelab command may actually be redundant anyway.


    Regards,
    Steve.
