Hi, i am a beginner of using Cadence IC5. Now i am try to follow the cell_desgin to create 2-inputs XOR gate. So i copy the whole cell_design directory to my home directory and then run icfb &. The library used master & basic, After i create extracted view for this XOR, then run the LVS that is failed. View the LVS.log, that shown as below: Running simulation in directory: "/root/cell_design/LVS". Begin netlist: May 17 00:08:39 2004 view name list = ("auLvs" "extracted" "schematic") stop name list = ("auLvs") library name = "project" cell name = "XOR2" view name = "extracted" globals lib = "basic" Running Artist Flat Netlisting ... *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) global error: Cannot find switch master cell for instance +41 in cellView (XOR2 extracted) from viewlist 'auLvs extracted schematic ' in library 'project'. *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) global error: Cannot find switch master cell for instance +40 in cellView (XOR2 extracted) from viewlist 'auLvs extracted schematic ' in library 'project'. *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown) : : How to solve this problem? Thank you, Benny
Try not setting CDS_Netlisting_Mode to Analog. Use Digital or do not set the environmental variable at all. The extract rules for that sample design do not use the Artist libraries, so the switch and stop view lists Artist uses are incorrect.
