AMS simulation error after moving to xrun/xcelium

forXTer

I recently migrated a project to IC6.1.7 which I understand uses xrun/xcelium instead of irun/incesive. I am getting an elaboration error in an AMS simulation that works fine in IC6.1.6. 

I am trying to including a systemverilog package, but I get the following error:

xmvlog: *E,EXPMPA (/home/package.sv,1|6): expecting the keyword 'module', 'macromodule' or 'primitive'[A.1].

It seems like it is trying to interpret this as verilog even though I have other .sv files that are fine. Nothing is defined in hdl.var that overwrites the default file associations. 

Current tool versions:

IC6.1.7-64b.500.23

xrun(64): 18.09-s009

  • Weird, if it worked before then sounds like a bug to me but that needs further investigation ...

    can you add the "-checkargs" to your xrun command line or into your xrunArgs file, this will dump a list of the command line arguments, just making sure you don't have a redifinition of the extention based resolution ...etc.  If you could post more useful information then it would greatly help.

    Actually whether IC617 uses XCELIUM or INCISIVE depends on what you have in your path.

    Understanding the error is going to be rather hard without knowing what the line in the code is which triggers the error, how you're referencing package.sv and so on. I suggest you contact customer support so that we can look at your setup... this is unlikely to be just because you're changing versions, but more to do with how your local environment has been configured, and you've not given enough information here to to be able to diagnose it.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
