Hi, > Dear Sir, > I am student of the electronics deptt. kurukshetra university, > kurukshetra and working on ALLIANCE package. > > Sir,I have simulated the VHDL file and core netlist(from GENLIB) using > ASIMUT.BUT when I simulate the pad netlist it demands some files like > pck_sp.vst etc which are not present in library,rather we have pck_sp.al > like files. > Please, guide me how I can solve this problem. > > I shall be very thankfull to you. > > > Yours faithfully, > sachin dev > kurukshetra university, > kurukshetra, > INDIA There is a special file (called CATAL file) which contains the name of all pad cells. (see catal(5) man page) This file is present for all cell libraries (sxlib/padlib etc ...) When you simulate a structural description, Asimut tries to find leaf cells using those CATAL files. When you have the following message using Asimut : *** mbk error *** can't open file : pck_sp.vst it means that you have not set properly the MBK_CATA_LIB environement variable (which gives the list of all cell libraries see MBK_CATAL_LIB(1) for details) Solution: add the path $ALLIANCE_TOP/cells/padlib in MBK_CATA_LIB Regards, Ludo.
