questions about "CDS_Netlisting_Mode" (IC5.0.0)

cds_netlisting_mode

I have some questions about using IC5.0.0.

When I run a trans simulation in AE(the circuit include a pluse voltage supplier),I
get a error message:"Error found by spectre during hierarchy flattening. V1: Waveform type must be specified if any waveform paras are given."

Somebody tell me this is because I set the CDS_Netlisting_Mode wrong.But I have set ".bashrc" as the article "Cadence IC Linux Installation Tutorial v0.1 - 01.05.2005 ".
The following is my ".bashrc":
CDSDIR=/IC5
CDS_ROOT=/IC5
CDS_INST_DIR=/IC5
CDS_INSTALL_DIR=/IC5/tools/dfII
export PATH =$CDSDIR $CDS_ROOT/tools/bin $CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export PATH= ( $path $CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin )
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
export CDS_Netlisting_Node "Analog"
export CDS_LIC_FILE=/usr/local/flexlm/license.dat

I couldn't sure which is right "CDS_Netlisting_Mode" or "CDS_Netlisting_Node", so I write them two.

Anybody can help me check the ".bashrc" file and tell me why the problem will be
exist?
Thank you very much!

cds_netlisting_mode analog

The variable name is CDS_Netlisting_Mode.
Some statements are wrong:

export PATH =$CDSDIR $CDS_ROOT/tools/bin $CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export PATH= ( $path $CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin )
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
export CDS_Netlisting_Node "Analog"

should be:

export PATH=$CDSDIR:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export $PATH=${PATH}:$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode="Analog"

Use ":" as the delimiter for paths.
Environment variable assignment needs a "=" sign.

export path=$cds_root/tools/bin

The variable name is CDS_Netlisting_Mode.
Some statements are wrong:

export PATH =$CDSDIR $CDS_ROOT/tools/bin $CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export PATH= ( $path $CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin )
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
export CDS_Netlisting_Node "Analog"

should be:

export PATH=$CDSDIR:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export $PATH=${PATH}:$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode="Analog"

Use ":" as the delimiter for paths.
Environment variable assignment needs a "=" sign.

First,Thank you very much for your kindness:>
I'm not familiar with the Linux, and so i modify the .bashrc as your said.
But, unfortunately the error is also exist.
This is my ".bashrc" now:
CDSDIR=/IC5
CDS_ROOT=/IC5
CDS_INST_DIR=/IC5
CDS_INSTALL_DIR=/IC5/tools/dfII
export PATH =$CDSDIR:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export PATH= $path $CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode="Analog"
export CDS_LIC_FILE=/usr/local/flexlm/license.dat

As I know, the problem looks like the CDS_Netlisting_Mode is not set rightly.But it is set now.How can I check it?
Or perhaps is the problem cause by the license line?

how to set the cd netlisting mode to analog

Hi,
I am not sure the problem is related with CDS_Netlisting_Mode environment variable. If this variable is not set, IC 5.0.32 can set it automatically. But I don't know whether IC5.0.0 is so clever.

But the statement setting CDS_Netlisting_Mode in .bashrc is correct:

export CDS_Netlisting_Mode="Analog"

or

export CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog

Both are correct.
You can run in Cadence CIW:

getShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode")

to view the results.

It may be a bug, but I am not sure either.

17: cds_root: not found

Hi!
Thanks again.
I have use the command "getShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode")" to check, the result is "Analog".So it means the CDS_Netlisting_Mode set is right.
Or it's a bug of 5.0.0?
Maybe the problem is because the license?Can you tell me how to check the license state?

what is cds netlisting mode?

I think it is a well-know bug of IC50. This bug has been fixed in the following USR and hot fix. You should update your IC first.

Can you tell me how to check the license state?

From CIW's main menu, select "Options / Licenses...". You will see available licenses.

export cds_netlisting_mode

1 In IC5033 and running bash (.bashrc) you have to type

CDS_NETLISTING_MODE="Analog"

in caps

2

CDS_Netlisting_Mode="Analog"

(without caps) would produce a "nil" when you

getShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode")

3 You also get a "nil" if you do

getShellEnvVar("CDS_NETLISTING_MODE")

after doing step 1 above, so use

getShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode")

after step 1 to test in the icw shell

cdsdir & cds_root & cds_inst_dir

export PATH= $path $CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin

In your last correcting post, this is still FORMAT error. Fix it!
