Assura 4.12 backward compatibility?
Apr 02nd, 2013, 8:54pm
 
Will ASSURA 4.12.004-615 lnx86 works with IC610 and MMSIM61. I know it is meant for ic615 but it should be backward OA compatible?

Open Access hast different data models for each database version,
so even if Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.X uses OA 2.2 every subversion 6.1.0 to 6.15
supports different data models of OA 2.2.
This might cause incompatibility between Virtuoso and Assura, especially
for extraction RCX or QRC.
I think you will not get a  reliable answer in this forum, the best would be
either to try it directly or as Cadence.

MMSIM should not be an issue at all because simulators work with netlist
as input and not on the database directly, whereas the netlister is included in
the IC stream itself.
