SIMVISION source browser- PPESNAP error

I am trying to open the source browser for my design, but it keeps throwing PPESNAP error which says "I might be running 32 bit simvision but design was compiled using 64 bit mode."

I tried opening simvision in both 32 bit and 64 bit mode, still the above PPESNAP error is shown when trying to open source browser.

I am only able to see the waveform of all the signals in design though irrespective of 32 or 64 bit simvision. Only issue is source browser doesn't work.

How do I resolve this error?

Hi,

try to open simvision by giving the full path to the installation directory.

Example: /path/to/xcelium instllation/directory/tools.lnx86/simvision/bin/simvision

Regards,

Deepak B

If you login to the support page (support.cadence.com) and search on PPESNAP the first hit should be a page describing this error, the likely reasons for it, and the options to fix your command to work correctly. I've pasted the direct link here for your convenience.

Thanks Deepak. Even with your suggested approach I am seeing the following error and simvision doesn't open:

cds_root: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by cds_root)
Unable to find the Cadence installation in your path.

Do you have any suggestion on how to resolve this? TIA

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the link. I am unable to access the link though because website asks for host id or reference key or LMS key. I don't have any of those with me. Can you please help here.

Your CAD team should be able to confirm the licence server Host ID for you to register with. Cadence uses that in the registration process to ensure that we are only providing support to people who have paid for the product in question.

If you don't know how to find the Host ID from your CAD team, please email me (my user name here, with @cadence.com), send the email from your corporate email address so that I can find your company in our system.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.

I was able to resolve the issue by adding the glibc-2.14/build path to my library path.

I don't see issues anymore, source browser works as expected.
