Guest
anyone know what is the lastest version of IC for linux? right now,
i'm running version 5.033 32bit for linux. do you know if cadence has
IC 64bit version for linux? thanks.
 
IC 5.1.41 is the latest for Linux,
64bit support is quit spare, I believe only
a few translators a compiled for 64 bit.

Linux 64 bit support came in IC5141 USR1 (for Opteron), and IC5141 USR1a
(for Intel EMT64). All ISRs since then support 64 bit on both platforms.

All IC tools which are available in 64 bit mode on Solaris and HPUX are now
also available in 64 bit mode on Linux.

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks Bernd and Andrew. Do you know which linux flavor is most
compatible with? Thanks again for your help.

Your best bet is to go with RHEL 3.0 (RedHat Enterprise 3.0).

Hi Andrew,

Can you give some more information about this topic.
How dose the 64bit mechanism work exactly for DFII?

Is there a wrapper script which checks the OS?
I remember slightly there was a UNIX env variable?

If I had a look at my IC5141 post USR1 hotfix
I see the following difference.

ll tools/dfII/bin/32bit

ERC.exe*
LVS.exe*
XScale.exe*
cdb2oa.exe*
cdb2oail*
cdba2icc*
ddCopy*
defin.exe*
defout.exe*
icc2cdba*
icde.exe*
icds.exe*
icms.exe*
layout.exe*
layoutPlus.exe*
lefin.exe*
lefout.exe*
libManager.exe*
libManagerOA.exe*
libSelect.exe*
lvsbx.exe*
oa2cdb.exe*
oatTB.exe*
pipo.exe*
qtrek.exe*
si.exe*
strmin.exe*
strminui.exe*
strmout.exe*
strmoutui.exe*

ll tools/dfII/bin/64bit

cdb2oa.exe*
cdb2oail*
cdba2icc*
defin.exe*
defout.exe*
icc2cdba*
layout.exe*
lefin.exe*
lefout.exe*
oa2cdb.exe*
pipo.exe*

strmin.exe*
strmout.exe*

Hi Bernd,

Generally, the way it works is that, for a given exe called 'tester', there is
an sh wrapper script called 'tester' in tools/dfII/bin. This then invokes
'tester.exe' in tools/dfII/bin, which, if the exe is available on 64bit
platforms, is actually a binary wrapper called wrap3264. This determines the
correct architecture (somehow) and invokes tools/dfII/bin/32bit/tester.exe or
tools/dfII/bin/64bit/tester.exe. Or, graphically:

tools/dfII/bin:

tester <--- sh script
|
tester.exe <--- binary wrap3264
/ \
32bit/tester.exe 64bit/tester.exe <--- actual exes

Regards,
Graeme.
 
Thanks Graeme, that's how I assumed that it should work.

I misunderstood Andrew's statement

also available in 64 bit mode on Linux.

This does not mean that all 32bit tools are also available for 64bit,
what I understood in the first time.
Now the ls difference of the /bin/32bit to the /bin/64bit directory
is clear to me.

I personally don't mind if an application runs on 32bit
or 64bit, I just want to understand and took the first posting as
an initiation to asked more detailed.

Thanks Bernd

There is a small executable "wrapper" (it's not a script, but a compiled C
program) in the "tools/bin" or "tools/dfII/bin" dir which looks at the value
of the CDS_AUTO_64BIT UNIX env var, and then checks the OS capability, and
invokes the executable from the 32bit or 64bit subdir. It also sets the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Look in the documentation for CDS_AUTO_64BIT. This can be set to "all"
to indicate all available executables will be run as 64bit. Or you can list
the executable names, or you can use the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE keywords.(the
separator is colon, if I remember rightly).

Also, this wrapper can be invoked with the -64 argument. So you can do:

layout -64 &

Andrew.
 
Why cdb2oa is not included in IC5141-USR3?
Did I miss something at the installation or should I also install USR1 ?

cdb2oa would only be in ICOA5141, not IC5141.
