Hi, I'm using genus (Version 21.14-s082_1) to synthesis a VHDL-design with multiple power-domains. After reading the power intent file and calling 'apply_power_intent',  I get the following warning:

Warning : Potential problem while applying power intent of 1801 file. [1801-99]
: Cannot find any instance for scope '/:CHIP_TOP'. Rest of commands in this scope will be skipped (set_scope:../../upf/CHIP_TOP.upf:2).
: Check the power intent. If the scenario is expected, this message can be ignored.

The fist two lines of CHIP_TOP.upf:

upf_version 3.1
set_scope :CHIP_TOP

I simulated the same  UPF and VHDL files with Xeclium and was able to verify all the IEEE1801/UPF aspects I need without any problems. I don't know, why genus is having a problem with the 'scope'.
In genus, after getting the warning, running 'set_db power_domain:CHIP_TOP/BLOCK_A/PD_CORE_D .library_domain PD0V5' returns the following error:

Error : <Start> word is not recognized. [TUI-182] [set_db]
: 'power_domain:CHIP_TOP/BLOCK/PD_CORE_D' is not a recognized object/attribute. Type 'help root:' to get a list of all supported objects and attributes.
: Check if the given <Start> word is a valid object_type, object or attribute.

Running 'commit_power_intent' gives me:

Started inserting low power cells...
====================================
Info : Command 'commit_power_intent' cannot proceed as there are no power domains present. [CPI-507]
: Design with no power domains is 'design:CHIP_TOP'.
Completed inserting low power cells (runtime 0.00).
====================================================

I'm suspecting that the problem lies in 'set_scope' and VHDL. I never had such problems with Verilog. I tried every way to reference the hierarchy in the code and now I'm at my wit's end and I need your help o/
How to set the scope with 'set_scope' in UPD 3.1 to the toplevel in VHDL, so that genus accepts it? Or is the problem caused by something else?

Best,

Iqbal

I'm trying to do what I believe should be a very simple and straightforward thing but after much reading appears to be quite complicated.

I'm test-benching the digital portion of a mixed-signal circuit that's instantiated a few hundred times. Each instance has some digital controls, and an analog portion. To greatly speed up the simulation, I'd like to hide the analog portion, which is neatly contained in one or two cell views deep down the hierarchy, and then unhide it after simulation has ended so it doesn't mess up other peoples' sims

Just as an example, say there's an op-amp that from the top level is contained in instance "I<0:511>/I3/I15/I0". First off, I don't know how to iterate through the 512 instantiations of the top level cell, but let's say we're just working with the I0 instance. I thought it would just be

schIgnore(?objectId "I<0:511>/I3/I15/I0" ?setIgnore t)

Of course this doesn't work. I can get the top level cell dbId with

cv = dbOpenCellViewByType("library" "cell" "schematic" "" "a")

And then I can grab the instance ID with

inst = dbFindAnyInstByName(cv "I0")

This gives me something, but then I'm lost from here. If I use the ~>master to get an Id from inst, I cannot recursively use dbFindAnyInstByName to traverse down the hierarchy. Also the value this returned seems to be meaningless, it can't be used by the schIgnore command. I'm not sure what the schIgnore command is actually even looking for.

So I guess I'm trying to loop through two things, one is to traverse down the hierarchy and grab the ID of a child instance so I can schIgnore it, and another is to iterate through all the top level instances to hide the child instance within each of them.

Is there a skill command for "Assign Layout Instance terminals", this form appears when i click on define device correspondence and Bind the devices.

Also,

Problem Statement : i have a schematic with a couple of transistor symbols and and i alos have a corresponding layout view with respective layout transistors but they all are inside a pCell(created by me) i.e layout transistor called inside a custom Pcell. Now i have multiple symbols in schematic view and a single instance(pCell) in layout view. 
Is there a way how i can bind these schematic symbols with layout symbols inside the pCell(custom)? Even if i have to use cph commands i'm fine with it. need help here.

The idea here is to establish XL connectivity between the schematic symbols and corresponding layout transistors(inside the pCell).

Thanks,

Shankar

Hi,

My query is regarding importing of layout.

After importing, we see that the imported transistor instances and vias are all referring to the library in which they are imported, instead of referring to the technology library.

Please let me know how we can refer them to the technology library.

Will surely provide more details if my query is unclear.

Thanks,

Mallikarjun.

Hi,

I have synthesized a verilog code. When performing the pnr in innovus it is showing the error "Instance g5891__718 (similar for other) of the cell AND2_X6 has no physical library or has wrong dimension  values (<=0). Check your design setup to make sure the physical library is loaded in and attribute specified in library are correct.

When importing synthesized netlist in virtuoso then it says " Module AND2_X6, instantiated in the top module decoder, is not defined. Therefore the top module decoder will be imported as functional."

Please help what's going on here? 

At a bustling Cadence event, we met Adrian, an intern at a startup who immerses himself in Cadence tools for his research and work.
