Not able to Invoke XRUN

Deepak, perhaps you could share the settings you used for your PATH variable? It's hard to debug without any details.

Hello Stephen,

I have a same problem with XCELIUM with IC_6.1.8.270_RHELx86 on AMD machine.

in .bashrc linked XCELIUM with this command

source /eda/cadence/2021-22/scripts/XCELIUM2209.sh

which is doing:

export CDS_XCELIUM=/eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209
export PATH="${PATH}:${CDS_XCELIUM}/bin:${CDS_XCELIUM}/tools/bin:${CDS_XCELIUM}/tools/cdsgcc/gcc/bin"
alias help_cds_xcelium='$CDS_XCELIUM/tools/cdnshelp/bin/cdnshelp &'
# xrun, simvision, xmvhdl, xmvlog, xmsc, xmelab, xmsim, xmls, xmhelp, xfr, xmxlimport

when I try in folder /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools.lnx86/bin
checkSysConf XCELIUM2209

I get

This operating system version '8.0WS' is not supported

If you believe you are running a supported OS then check that
the OS version directory exists in the data directory:
/eda/cadence/2022-23/RHELx86/IC_6.1.8.270/share/patchData/Linux/x86_64

I have ksh installed together with all recommended patches (https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?pageName=ArticleContent&id=a1Od000000051rO&pageURL=COSComputingPlatforms&oMenu=DocumentViewer%20Computing%20Platforms)

for ssl I have:

yum list installed | grep ssl
apr-util-openssl.x86_64                            1.6.1-6.el8                                                 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
compat-openssl10.x86_64                            1:1.0.2o-4.el8_6                                            @rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
openssl.x86_64                                     1:1.1.1k-7.el8_6                                            @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms

openssl-libs.x86_64                                1:1.1.1k-7.el8_6                                            @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms   
openssl-pkcs11.x86_64                              0.4.10-2.el8                                                @anaconda                        
xmlsec1-openssl.x86_64 

Could it be connected with the fact it is a AMD? With intel processors with same RHEL8 installation XCELIUM is running.

Thank you

Best regards

Josef

Josef, you've made the same mistake as Deepak. You have invoked the IC 6.1.8 version of checkSysConf, which is very old and isn't aware of RHEL8 (notice the screen output tells you it's picking the definition file from /eda/cadence/2022-23/RHELx86/IC_6.1.8.270/share/patchData/Linux/x86_64.

This is most likely to be caused by you adding Xcelium to the end of your PATH instead of the start - this means that the binaries in the Xcelium install will only be picked up if there's no same-named binary elsewhere int he PATH. I would usually add new programs to the start of the PATH to ensure they are picked up in preference to any other tools.

If you run the Xcelium copy of checkSysConf, it should be happy with that OS version.

As regards the choice of Intel or AMD CPU, Xcelium should not be sensitive to this difference, both vendors should be fine.

Thank you, I wasnt aware of that. I was missing motif package which is not written in https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?pageName=ArticleContent&id=a1Od000000051rO&pageURL=COSComputingPlatforms&oMenu=DocumentViewer%20Computing%20Platforms

so now checkSysConf PASS

Should I paste here the full results?

but I am still getting

xrun -version
bash: /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/bin/xrun: No such file or directory

I don't know what would cause that error. The /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/bin/xrun file is a symbolic link to a compiled ELF binary, if you do "ls -l /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/bin/xrun" it should point at "../inca/bin/xrun".

Make sure that /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/inca/bin/xrun exists and is executable.

Yes, files exist, I should have rights and files are executable.

I am getting:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 user user 16 Feb  1  2023 /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/bin/xrun -> ../inca/bin/xrun

if I check folder /eda/cadence/2021-22/RHELx86/XCELIUM2209/tools/inca/bin

I get:

-rwxrwx---. 1 user user 20731556 Jan 23  2023 xrun
