IC Compiler and plibs

[snp33]

Hey all

I am using ic compiler for the first time so i dont know if I am doing something wrong or if my plib file is erroneous. This is what happens when I try to create a library using my plib file:

icc_shell> create_mw_lib -plib ../CORX90GPSVT.plib newlib
Wrote the 'CORX90GPSVT' library to '/home/samuel/aes/run/tech.pdb' successfully.
WARNING : **** No technology information!

Done.

Warning: No reference library is offered. So preferredrouting direction can't be set. (MWUI-216)

After these messages the tool creates a library but it contains no physical data at all... therefore i cant perform placement, routing, etc...

ANy toughts?

you lib path is correct?

 

[snp33]

Yes it is.

Did you solve this problem?
I use the same library as you, and got the exactly same problem.

I think your plib is corrupted

 

[snp33]

I have contacted synopsys support and the problem lies in the file. It does not contain all the info ic compiler needs to start the flow

(although the console messages are not that descriptive that is what actually happened)

to use this library u would have to start the flow using another plib file, tech file or lef file combo.

Will be useful for many...
