Issues related to cadence xrun command

Siva Rama Krishna Vanjari

We are trying to run compilation, elab and sim with command xrun -r -u alu, where alu is one of the units to execute. we are getting the following errors.

1) xmsim: *E,DLMKDF: Unable to add default DEFINE std       /home/xxxx/Cad/xcelium/tools/inca/files/STD.
    xmsim: *E,DLMKDF: Unable to add default DEFINE synopsys  /home/xxxx/Cad/xcelium/tools/inca/files/SYNOPSYS


2) xmsim: *W,DLNOHV: Unable to find an 'hdl.var' file to load in.

What is the purpose of hdl.var

3) xmsim: *F,NOSNAP: Snapshot 'alu' does not exist in the libraries.

I cannot see in log files, which libraries is it referring to??

Any one request you to help on how to debug these.

  • It's hard to diagnose your problem just from those snippets without more context (and really you should be using https://support.cadence.com/ for support requests, not this public forum).

    You mention that you're trying to compile, elaborate and simulate using "xrun -r" but the "-r" switch is telling the tool to jump in directly at the simulation step and to assume that you have already compiled and elaborated. If you are trying to compile, elaborate and simulate in one step, remove the "-r" option.

    Note that the "-u" option is specified as "convert identifiers to upper case", which is probably not what you wanted (though it's not clear why you added it).

    If the above doesn't resolve your problem, please give us more details, ideally your exact xrun commands that you used. If you can't share those on the public forum, register for a support account and file a support ticket.
