ncelab error - verilog functional instance unresol
Aug 29th, 2006, 1:28pm
 
I am having issues elaborating my design in AMS.  The ncelab log file is as follows:

ncelab: 05.40-p004: (c) Copyright 1995-2004 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
ncelab: *W,DLCILIB: Library name 'my_lib' not found, defaulting to 'MY_lib'.  Please see nchelp on this error.
ncelab: *W,CUNOUN: Cannot find any unit under MY_lib.my_cell:functional in the design libraries.
ncelab: *E,CUCFUN: instance 'I28' of the unit 'my_cell' is unresolved in 'MY_lib.my_test_cell:schematic'.


I am concerned with the CUNOUN and CUCFUN warning/error.  (I think the DLCILIB warning is just because my library has capital characters in it)

I have tried explicitly netlisting my_schematic via CIW->tools->AMS->netlist, but this does not help.

The ncelab help manual says the following about the error:

ncelab/CUCFUN =
       The specified instance in the named module could not be
       resolved using the 5.x configuration specification available.

I have no idea what the '5.x configuration specification' is.


thanks for your help!!!

So its not the testbench schematic.. but the instance I28 in it..
Have you netlisted THAT schematic?
if its a primitive device did you setup your model files?
does the PDK for it have an ams view, and amssiminfo ??

The instance I28 is an imported verilog functional block.  It only has functional and symbol views.  

I wrote the verilog externally and imported it to cadence via CIW->file>import->verilog

This schematic simulated using spectreVerilog, so I'm not sure how to proceed.  I thought AMS would compile the verilog when I compiled the toplevel testbench cell.  

Thanks!

1. I don't see the need to "IMPORT" it except to get the symbol..
but when you look at the HED, do you have "functional" view in your switch list?
SpectreVerilog uses Verilog-XL.. maybe there is an incompatibilty with Verilog-2001 so that the model doesn't compile properly with ncvlog?

Its not quite the same Verilog!!

I met with the same problem in ams elabrating.
I don't think it a compatible issue, cuz the simulation would be smooth if I had not changed the certain block.
But I still cannot find the way to overcome this error
