i got a free technology files FreePDK45
and i don't know how to add to cadence
i hope you can help me doing this
(iam beginner in Cadence)

Thanks a lot
 

Hi. You need to find readme file in directory FreePDK45\ncsu_basekit\README.txt and setup variables in file /ncsu_basekit/cdssetup/setup.csh, location of your PDK and Cadence directory
Follow instructions in the file.

first sorry for my late reply i really had bad days
also i appreciate a lot your time
but i the program want to run that setup.csh in my cadence directory from which it runs iam not experienced in Linux at all
can you give the scrip from which i know from where the Cadence Directory run from

really sorry but iam fully beginner
and also if there is any tutorial ican use to learn more about linux
thanks a lot really appreciated
 

You do not need to find in cadence directory, you can find setup.csh in \FreePDK45\ncsu_basekit\cdssetup\
I usually set environments in .tcshrc file in home directory for starting cadence.
For example, this is my script

Code: 
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1
setenv CDS_USE_PALETTE
setenv CDS_EXEC icfb
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog
setenv CLS_CDSD_COMPATIBILITY_LOCKING NO
setenv DD_DONT_DO_OS_LOCKS set
setenv MMSIMHOME /tools/MMSIM71
setenv CDS /tools/ic613
setenv CDSHOME /tools/ic613
setenv CDSDIR /tools/ic613/tools/dfII
setenv CDS_INSTALL_DIR $CDS/tools/dfII
setenv CDS_LIC_FILE 5280@127.0.0.1
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE /tools/LCU/share/license/license.txt
setenv PATH "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:${PATH}:${HOME}/bin:/libs/MSLKITS/MSLLIBS/current/bin:$CDS/tools/bin:$CDS/tools/dfII/bin:$CDSHOME/tools/dfII/bin:$CDS/tools/concice/bin:$CDS/tools/dracula/bin:${PATH}:/usr/local/netscape:/libs/xb06kit/cadence/env/bin:$MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin"
 

ok i have the same script i think the problem is in configuring the setup.csh file (changing names of the directory)
it gives me error in line 9 , and 11 commenting "Command not found"
and also Line 51 Syntax Error unexpected end of file

Sir thanks a lot for your interest but what the wrong do you think with my file .....also i will be grateful if you send me your setup.csh file in order to compare it to mine
really appreciate your time
 

Hi,

Just create a new folder and copy the cds.lib file and paste it into the folder...

Then invoke cadence from that folder and go to "tools --> library path editor" from the cadence CIW window....

In "library path editor window" just add the free pdk path of yours...

Then go to "file--> save" and close this "library path editor window"...

Now you can see your pdk library inthe library manager...

important: you should paste cds.lib in that folder...

Thanks..
