I'm trying to use Jasper for checking parameter propagation in a large design. I have a list of top-level parameters, each with a HDL path of a module parameter somewhere lower in the hierarchy that's supposed to receive its value from the top-level module. The FPV app seems like an excellent tool for this, but elaborating the entire design in it is extremely time-consuming and memory-intensive. So, I'm trying to black-box everything but the interesting HDL paths. I thought using `elaborate -top dut_module_name -bbox_i * -no_bbox_i inst_foo -no_bbox_i inst_bar (...)` would work, but it doesn't. Jasper just starts flooding the log with warnings from modules that are definitely not on the whitebox list, and eventually dies due to insufficient memory. When I use -bbox_m * it correctly elaborates the top-level module with all of its sub-modules black-boxed. But then the -no_bbox_i switches have no effect. Could anyone suggest a working solution for this use case?

When analyzing multiple sessions simultaneously Verisium Manager crashed and reported below error messages:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

For more details please refer to the attached log file "hs_err_pid21143.log".

Two approaches were tried to solve this problem but neither has worked.
Method.1:

Setting larger heap size of Java process by "-memlimit" options.For example "vmanager -memlimit 8G".

Method.2:

Enlarging stack memory size limit of the Coverage engine by setting "IMC_NATIVE_STACKSIZE" environment variable to a larger value. For example "setenv IMC_NATIVE_STACKSIZE 1024000"

According to "hs_err_pid*.log" it is almost certain that the memory overflow triggered Java's CrashOnOutOfMemoryError and caused Verisium Manager to crash. There are some arguments about memory management of Java like "Xms, Xmx, ThreadStackSize, Xss5048k etc" and maybe this problem can be fixed by setting these arguments during analysis. However, how exactly does Verisium Manager specify these arguments during analysis? I tried to set them by the form of setting environment variables before analysis but it didn't work in analysis and their values didn't change.

Is there something wrong with my operation or is there a better solution?

Thank you very much.

Hi,
My Virtuoso and Spectre Version: ICADVM20.1-64b.NYISR30.2
I plot an eye diagram using a built in function. I want to see the data-dependent jitter. I want to measure the eye diagram edges at zero crossing (width of that diamond part) shown in the pic by vertical and horizontal markers. I can put a marker and read the numbers there and get what I want. But now I want to run Monte Carlo and I can't do this for all samples. I wish I could write an expression for this. Unfortunately, I see that the function "cross" is not working on the eye diagram. Basically, when I send the eye diagram data to a table, I see that it actually is just the prbs data and not the eye diagram data. Is there a hack that can help me achieve my goal which is: having an expression to measure the edges of the eye diagram at zero crossing?
There is a script that Andrew wrote (https://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin%3AViewSolution%3BsolutionNumber%3D11395772). This is a good script but it puts all edges on top of each other. I want to distinguish the two edges. In the attached pic (two-period eye diagram) you can see what I mean by the two edges (diamond shapes). I want to measure each of the two and take the maximum. Having all the edges on top of each other won't give me what I want. All edges together will lso include DCD. I purely want to measure DDJ. DCD is measured separately. I have very little experience with writing scripts and could not modify Andrew's script.
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

I have a sensitive trace on layer 2 and I would like to prevent any routing along or across it on adjacent layers (L1 and L3).

My idea was to use a route keepout shape on L1 and L3, however that also removed the ground pour on those layers and I would like to keep the ground pour.

Can I get around this somehow or should I use something else than route keepout?

Regards,

Filip

Dear Community,

In OrCAD X Profession, the workspace feature enables the users to store the libraries (Schematic Symbol, Footprint and PSpice Models) and Designs (Schematic and PCB layout) in the cloud workspace.

But storing these libraries and design are stored in servers in the USA, Europe, Asia and Japan Servers.

I don't want to store my designs in any of these servers instead I want to create the workspace in my local PC and store all my libraries and designs in the local workspace.

Is this possible, if possible then can anyone provide the steps/procedure or videos of how to do it?

Regards,

Rohit Rohan
