I have synthesized a sequential design using freepdk45 library. I have converted this cell library to the atpg library using Tessent libcomp. But this generated an ATPG library that has no scan cell equivalent for any cell. My aim is to insert scan chain. I am getting the below error while running set_system_mode analysis command in Tessent
Warning: Model 'DFFSR' has no muxscan scan equivalent and is treated as nonscan model
Warning: Scan chains may not be inserted due to memory elements without scan equivalent library models.

How to define scan equivalents in the ATPG library, is there a utility to perform this task? Please help me with this.
Any help is highly appreciated. Hope to hear soon.

Thanks and regards,
Testing enthusiast
 
Hi all,
I have solved the above problem by writing the scan cell definition by hand following the instructions in the Tessent cell library manual. But I am still not able to get the scan inserted netlist. The logfile consisting of the commands and their outputs is mentioned below:
command: set_context dft -no_rtl -design_id gate
// command: read_cell_library libcomp.atpglib

Please help me with this.
