JAZZ sbc18 library problem

[Gang Chen]

Now we use JAZZ sbc18 lib, and if you use version5, it works well.
if we use version6, it gives the following message.
"unknown parameter name used to initialize the parameter"

We wonder is the problem about the MMSIM.
WE install MMSIM6.2
The way we configure the MMSIM6.2 in .cshrc is in following
" setenv MMSIMHOME /cad/cds/MMSIM
set path = {$path $MMSIMHOME/tools/bin $MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin}
"
Is this right?

THe cadence we used is IC5.10.41.500.3.31, and when we login cadence,it
shows "Loading mmsimenv.cxt".
Is that meaning mmsim has been sucessfully loaded into cadence ?

Now we still can't use sbc18 lib version6 in spectre.

Do anyone know how to solve this problem ?

Best Wishes

The context file (.cxt) has nothing to do with the MMSIM stream - it's part of
the IC code.

You can tell which version of spectre you've got by looking at the top of the
output file that you get when you run the simulation. If it says 5.10.41
something, you've not got your path set up properly.

What you need is:

set path = ($MMSIMHOME/tools/bin $ICHOME/tools/bin $ICHOME/tools/dfII/bin $path)

i..e you must have tools/bin from MMSIM first in your path, to avoid finding the
spectre from the IC stream. You don't need tools/dfII/bin from MMSIM in your
path.

Andrew.
