tags: .synopsys_dc.setup

When synthezing a very simple *.v file, I got this error

Warning: Can't read link_library file 'your_library.db'. (UID-3)

However, I checked the .synopsys_dc.setup file, there is no file named 'your_library.db' specified. What is wrong with this message?

Thanks.

you have to set


set link_library "* whatever_library_you_want_to_use"

If you didn't specify it, DC will use "you_library" by default, which doesn't exist at all.

So, to solve it, you have to set the 2 variables
set target_library
set link_library

Yes, I did set set link_library and set target_libary. But still ... I don't have it right now so I can't post it.

i mean, set it in DC command line

then u try
echo $target_library
and
echo $link_library

to check the value of them

Added after 1 minutes:

and secondly, is the .synopsys_dc.setup is reside in the same folder where u invoke ur dc_shell?

Hi,

check in the synopsys setup file...

set target_library x.db
set link_library "* x.db"

where 'x' is the name of the library which u have used.

Regards,
dcreddy
