Hi,
I am trying to use the Standard Cell Libraries provided by Virginia Tech for PnR, which require the NCSU kit.
I am using the NCSU 1.6 beta version which works with the Cadence IC 1.6 version, however the VT Cell Libraries have been designed for the older version and have to be converted using cdb2oa.
I am getting the following error when I try to convert the Cell Library files:
*******
ERROR (CDBOA-500) : The translation was stopped because technology library "NCSU_TechLib_tsmc03d" referenced by library "../vtvt_tsmc250" does not exist. Ensure that any technology libraries referenced by the current library are defined in the cds.lib file and available in OpenAccess at the time they are referred.
*******
Now, the vtvt_tsmc250 has to be attached to the NCSU_TechLib_tsmc03d, but since it is in the cdb format even that is giving an error.
Please provide inputs.
