Calibre PEX problem
Jul 07^th, 2009, 8:05am

Hello,

I'm designing a chip with AMS high voltage 0.35um process. I am using calibre for verification. I have passed LVS. But when I do PEX, I got some warnings and PEX will be terminated. Here are the warnings:

My calibre version is v2008.3_34.24 and my cadence version is 5.10.41. Anybody knows how to fix this problem? Thanks.

A "bus error" is a kind of crash. From "man 7 signal" on Linux:

Quote:

Signal Value Action Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGBUS 10,7,10 Core Bus error (bad memory access) SIGPOLL Term Pollable event (Sys V). Synonym of SIGIO

You should report this to Mentor Graphics.
