Packager error SPCODD-7

Autarchex

I heavily modified an existing board design in Allegro Design Entry HDL, including moving components between heirarchy blocks (despite warnings that Allegro does not handle that well...)   When I go to do an Export Physical, with only "package design" checked, and set to 'repackage', I get ERROR(SPCODD-7) which I have pasted below.  Like most Cadence error messages this doesn't really seem to tell me much, and I cannot find a lookup table of error messages on the website.  The component it is complaining about is a TI TPS54160 buck converter and is not a multi-section part, yet it seems to want multiple sections for packaging.  Anyone else run into this?

 

#1   ERROR(SPCODD-7): Following Primitive instance of size requires 2 section~s for packaging.  Only 1 sections available in package of type '18222500_A-182~2-2500'.  Check the size of all pins on this primitive.

Primitive Instance: @MAGPIE_LIB.ROOT(SCH_1):PAGE1_I22@MAGPIE_LIB.PEN_I~NTERFACE(SCH_1):PAGE1_I2@MAGPIE_LIB.PEN_SUPPLY_VPP(SCH_1):PAGE1_I1@IC_POWER.TP~S54160(CHIPS) (MODULE: PEN_SUPPLY_VPP; PART: TPS54160)

Physical Path: @magpie_lib.root(sch_1):page3_i22@magpie_lib.pen_interf~ace(sch_1):page1_i2@magpie_lib.pen_supply_vpp(sch_1):page1_i1@ic_power.tps5416~0(chips)

    Hi,

    Has this design been upreved from the 16.3 to the 16.5 release? If so, please read this excellent Cadence Online Support Solution that will provide you the resolution –

    Yes, it was upreved from 16.3 to 16.5, and then heavily edited.  I followed the instructions for the second option, using the environment variable.  It did not appear to make any difference;  I still receive several hundred SPCODD-7 errors when I package the design.  At this point I am considering writing a Perl script to strip out the unwanted and uneditable $SEC attributes from all of the components, but I am wary of directly editing the underlying files.

    My apologies, I apparently had not fully patched my installation.  Once I patched it to the most current revision, I tried this again and it worked!  Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback – glad it’s working!
