DE HDL to SKILL connection problem

Igor S
Igor S 4 months ago

Hi,

I use Allegro Design Entry HDL 23.1.

With project opened and DE HDL running, in console window I enter "cnskill -i -nongraph"

Then, SKILL window opens with ">" sign.

Entering "cnmpsIsExported()", I get "t" - i.e. session is ready to be imported, right?

But, when i enter "handle=cnmpsImport()", it outputs message about timeout expired while contacting server.

What may be wrong?

Thanks

    In DEHDL console window, I run the command:

    system (cnskill -i -nongraph)

    It opens skill window and then I run the command which you mentioned, following is the output:

    I am using 23.1 S010.

    Thanks!

    My problem was because curse suggests something another.

    In pdf of lab, they suggest to enter "system", and THEN in system window enter "cnskill -i -nongraph"

    In this case, the SKILL window opens, and "cnmpsIsExported()" returns "t" - but cnmpsImport() stuck till timeout

    handle=cnmpsImport()
     mpsImport, timeout elapsed while attempting server hand-shake mpsImport, timeout elapsed while attempting server hand-shake mpsImport, timeout elapsed while attempting server hand-shakempsImport, hand-shake timed out
    nil

    Thanks again!
