Title: Problem in display Layout in Cadence 6.1.0
Post by richard on Mar 20^th, 2009, 3:37am

Hi guys
I met the big problem in displaying layout in Cadence.
what I did show following:

Tools -> Display Resource Manager

> (now in Resource Manager window)

> Merge -> Ok

> (now in Merge window)

<your_basekit_dir>/ncsu_basekit/cdssetup/display.drf

> Add

Destination DRF: temp.drf

> Ok

> Tools -> Library Manager

> (now in Library Manager Window)

> File -> New -> Library

Name: NangateOpenCellLibrary_PDKv1_2_v2008_10

Directory: <your_homer>/NangateOpenCellLibrary_PDKv1_2_v2008_10/openaccess/

> Ok

> Compile an ASCII technology file

<your_homer>/NangateOpenCellLibrary_PDKv1_2_v2008_10/technology/techfile/virtuoso/FreePDK45.tf

however, when I opened the layout, it showed nothing except the Metal 1, the details can be found in attachmenet.
Could you please help me out?
Many thanks! :D

I'm not really familiar with that design kit - you'd probably be better off going through the support channel for the design kit. I suspect you're not supposed to create a library compiling the tech file, but instead attach or reference a technology library. And I doubt you need to merge the display.drf. But I could be wrong - it depends on how the design kit is setup, I suppose.

Not really a circuit simulator question though :-/

Regards,

Andrew.
