Hi all,

I am running a chip level sim with spectreVerilog. I am also trying to read VCD file. For some strange reason the sim is crashing once the VCD file starts sending its data with an error message stating: internal assertion failed in devices.c at line no 4056. Please run `getSpectreFiles' or send the netlist, the spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem to support@cadence.com.

I am sorry I am not able to give the exact error message as I have started another sim at the same place after changing from 32 bit to 64 bit option hoping it would help!!

But in general, can anyone share some experience abt this kind of error message?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the "general method" to handle this is to send the test case to Cadence.  It's not like the source code (devices.c) is available to you.

At best, you might be able to guess what device is causing the problem (CMI-2010 may indicate it's a device loaded via CMI rather than built-in), but I don't know what you'd do with that info.
