Title: Configuring new PDK
Post by abhinav on Aug 25^th, 2014, 8:23pm

I was configuring the new PDK in Cadence virtuoso version IC6.1.4.500.12( one PDK is already existing in the home directory). so i make a new folder(named "new_PDK") in the home directory and added the files(cadence.cshrc, cds.lib, .cdsinit, .cdsenv, bindkeys and the PDK folder). when i source the cadence.cshrc file from from folder new_PDK, i am listing out the problems i am facing:

1. its shows techfile conflict

" there is a conflict in techfile graph

Look at techfile reported error massage in CIW

correct techfile conflict before proceeding "

Whill loading the files, it takes techfile.tf, pdkutil and display.drf file from PDK folder olny.

2. In the schematic window, i can call the instances but unable to connect using wires(wires are not coming. rest all shortcut keys are working.

"
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } |||||||color set to unbound, was nil

|||color set to nil, was nil

* Field is "color" *

*Error* hiCreateCyclicField: value must be contained within the list of choices

"

3. In the layer selection windows(LSW) palletes are not visible.

" (LE-101804): Cannot get valid layer form LSW window. "

i can see the layer when i click on layer but again shows blank when i scroll it down.

4. Cadence windows crash when i try to make any layer in the layout.

" \o (LE-101804): Cannot get valid layer form LSW window.
\a leSetLSWBBox(list(57:328 207:1028)) "

Everthing working properly with the old PDK exist in home directory.

Please help me out.
