Title: Library Manager and verilogams Post by wave on Jan 25th, 2009, 10:34pm Hi - Does anyone find that the library management of verilogams views are, for lack of a better word, "sticky" ? I have a development library and a stable library. If I delete the version in one to copy in the other, I end up with a very outdated version. If I delete a verilogams view, there is obviously some cadence memory that keeps it around for upcoming sims, etc. Other times, when I look in Linux, I often see <-- links, when I really want independent files. I have the choices of using the Library manager, a Linux window, or a Windows link to my Linux drive. Also, I'm using gvim as a default editor. --- if any of that is relevent. thanks, Wave 8-) |
Title: Re: Library Manager and verilogams Post by Andrew Beckett on Jan 27th, 2009, 12:41pm I don't think your explanation is clear enough for me to understand precisely what you're doing. Can you clarify? Regards, Andrew. |
Title: Re: Library Manager and verilogams Post by jbdavid on Jan 27th, 2009, 3:09pm Understanding the effect of ncvlog -use5x and your design management solution (designsync, icmanage, cleosoft, or methodics) on the underlying file structure is crucial to your success. -- some of those can turn a simple directory and file into a "link" - and you'd best know which is doing that! -- |
Title: Re: Library Manager and verilogams Post by wave on Jan 28th, 2009, 1:02am Andrew, Jonathan - Appreciate the comments. Something is taking freshly deleted and newly re-created files and directories and replacing with: verilog.ams -> ../../dir1/dir2/verilogams/verilog.ams This is a link to a previous copy of a similar model. {make from} It was and should remain an *independent* file. I'm not using design mgmt software at the moment, but am using OSS/irun with Interactive mode into ncsim. What about ncvlog -use5x ?? Something is clearly keeping it's older files in memory, refreshing the "->" regards, Wave :D |
Title: Re: Library Manager and verilogams Post by Andrew Beckett on Jan 28th, 2009, 11:17am Wave, I think you probably should contact customer support - that gives a better opportunity to ask you a set of questions and have a more rapid turnaround than I can do here. I can't see any obvious reason for the behaviour you're seeing, so I suspect there's some aspect I'm missing... Regards, Andrew. |
Title: Re: Library Manager and verilogams Post by wave on Jan 28th, 2009, 6:46pm All - Thanks for the support. Our local Sales/FAE found the issue. I was working on a "make from" design. I copied a verilogams cell, and edited the guts of the model. However, if you forget to change the module name --- so the AMS code module name does Not match the cellview --- Cadence take the liberty and gives you a symbolic link to code with a related name. (never mind what happens to your mis-named code) Arg! Wave ::) |
