    Hi,

    I use SE to place IOs and set the 'Placement Mode' to 'I/O Constraint
    File', reading in the file 'oplace.ioc', then select 'Pin Layer Assignment'
    and click ok, but I get such error:
    Begin OPPLACE ...
    user error: Version number expected as 5.3 or greater.
    IOPLACE failed.

    I use sedsm -version to check the release and get 'sedsm 05.30-p002', I
    think my version fill the need, but why do I get the error info?

    Thanks for your help!

    Best Regards,

    I guess it's referring to the .ioc version number.
    does the .ioc contain the header such as

    IOPLACEHEADER (
    (VERSION 5.3 )
    (DIVIDERCHAR "/" )
    (BUSBITCHARS "[]" )
    )

    at the top of the file?

    Yes, There's the same header. How should I do to resolve it?

    BTW, why may I not 'Edit' the *.ioc file? When I click the 'Edit', then I
    get one 'pdedit' window and say 'xterm: Can't execvp pdedit'. I'm using
    solaris 2.6 and SE5.3.

    Thanks for your help!

    Best Regards,
