sevFullMenuItem

[Philipp Ritter]

Hello,

Has anyone already encountered this problem when trying to launch ADE

*Error* sevFullMenuItem: extra arguments or keyword missing -
(!_spectreCheckFeature('spectre_analysisRF_TaskManager) then ("Parametric
Analysis" ?callback sevParametricTool('sevSession1) ?form t ... ) ("Corners"
?callback (UartLoadPcfFiles() && sevCornersTool(&amp) ?form t ... ) ("Monte
Carlo" ?callback sevMonteCarloTool('sevSession1) ?form t ... ) ... )s

I have installed an ST designkit but can't get it to work. I've tried the following steps to find out more about the problem but without much success ...

1) From CDS.log: Clicking onto "Analog Design Environment" calls sevStartSession()
2) Set breakpoint at sevStartSession()
3) whereIs sevStartSession returns ""/local/sw/cadence/designkit/b9mw23_ams2010/UNIOPUS/uniopus/cadence_amsAMS2010_1_mmsim/lnx/tools/dfII/pvt/etc/context/simui/session.il"
4) folder pvt does not exist as such:
pr@laplace:/local/sw/cadence/designkit/b9mw23_ams2010/UNIOPUS/uniopus/cadence_amsAMS2010_1_mmsim/lnx/tools/dfII ll

5) but session.il is referred to in .../dfII/etc/context/simui.aux, where context links to /local/sw/cadence/IC5141HF149//tools/dfII/etc/context
6) in simui.toc several sev* functions are listed, among those also sevFullMenuItem could be found. As simui.cxt is a binary file no futher investigations could be made.

7) ddGestStartupAll("menus") returns "./menus"
8) ./menus folder contains
[pr@laplace menus]$ ll

9) I tried adding some debug code to *.menus files to see which one is actually loaded but they are automatically overwritten at icfb startup with DK template in $DK_ROOT/ArtistKit@5.6.0.1/menus/

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The best would be to speak to ST. There's probably an incompatibility
with the menus files with the version you're using, or a mistake on the
menus files they've provided.
