Ok I had a look at your netlist. There are a few things that worry me:
1. Your inverter is characterized from an extracted view. Do you not have an original schematic view for the cell?
2. Another thing that seems strange from the netlist is your instance names... I am not sure, but \+1 and...
Try adding the following to the top of your elccfg file:
EC_SIM_USE_LSF=1;
EC_SIM_LSF_CMD=" ";
EC_SIM_LSF_PARALLEL=50;
EC_SIM_TYPE="spectre";
EC_SIM_NAME="spectre";
EC_SPICE_SIMPLIFY=1;
EC_CHAR="ECSM-TIMING ECSM-POWER";
Yes, ELC will not be extract functionality for these cells from the netlist.
You will have to write a gate file for each cell like this. ELC will then be able to extract functionality from the gate file.
For information on gate files, see the ELC documentation.
ELC should have no problem with recognising a cell as simple as an inverter... I suspect the problem to be with your SPICE netlist. How are you generating it?
I generated mine by instancing all of the standard cells into a new schematic, without any pin connections, then exporting a SPICE...
Thanks, what you are saying makes sense.
Firstly I will have to find out why we are using it this way in our designs, and secondly why the Windows versions of Quartus do not have a problem with this.
Sorry for the late response, for some reason I don't get email notifications any more.
Yes, we do have real values assigned to signals; first, we define a variable such as:
constant VARNAME : real := 1.0 * n;
And then later on (and this is where the error occurs in Linux only, not in...
You need the following files in your working directory:
cmd_file (This optional file contains a list of ELC commands to execute in succession. Alternatively, you can interactively enter commands into ELC.)
elccfg (ELC configuration file. Specifies parameters to ELC)
spice_netlist.scs (SPICE...
In the end I had to remove that specific cell from the library. It may have used too much memory for the machine to handle, causing ELC to fail.
I may retry some or other time on a newer machine.
