Version problem with IUS 8.2

[bu-bu]

Hello,

In my company, we are upgrading our tools.
We used to use IC5.1.41 + mmsim6.2 + IUS 6.1.1.

Now, we are using IC6.1.3 + mmsim 7.1 + IUS8.2

The database created with IC6 is a "brand new one" from scratch.
To test Verilog AMS, i've created a very simple testcase.

When i run a simulation, i got the following error message:

ncvlog: *F,NBADVR: The version of the Calling tool "TOOL: irun 08.20-
s009" does not match the version of the Called tool "TOOL: ncvlog
06.11-s017".

I really don't understand why this error happened: in my setup file,
i've updated the installation path for every tool.
($CDSHOME, $MMSIMHOME, $IUSHOME)

and path is set as
path = ($IUSHOME $MMSIMHOME $CDSHOME path) (i've followed this order)

when i run "which" on UIS 8.2 files (ncvlog, ncelab, irun, ncsim), it
returns the good path.

could someone help me to solve this problem ?

Thanks and regards,

bubu

Hi Bubu,

There is something bizzarre in your environment:
1. your "irun" version looks to be "08.20-s009". As far as I know, the
latest available version from Cadence is "08.20-s007". I have
downloaded/installed this version just last week.
2. In addition to the 'which' command, would you mind to check your
versions with the following commands:
UNIX> ncverilog -h | more
UNIX> irun -h | more
mine shows :
ncverilog: 08.20-s007: ...
irun: 08.20-s007: ....

FYI, my PATH variable is rather MMSIM71/IC5141/IUS82/$PATH

Another point (not sure whether it did play a role in your problem).
When you have configured your IC613 stream, did you compile your
primitives using the right version of IUS ?

Regards,
Riad.

Hello Riad,

Thanks a lot for your help.

IUS 08.20.s007 has been released in march.
IUS 08.20.s009 has been released april 10th !! (according to
sourcelink)

so, yes, i have installed the latest version, which is 08.20.s009 ^^v

Regarding the version of the tools i used :
ncverilog: 08.20-s009
irun: 08.20-s009

Regarding the last point you mention, i installed IC6.13 last month.
And i installed IUS last week ^^'
I forgot this point.
So i compiled the libs, and it works fine now. I can run
simulations !!!!
Thanks a lot for your help !!!




bubu, who is very happy now !

Hi Bubu,

Happy it worked for you.
I have eventually found the IUS 08.20-s009. I was stupidely looking at
the HotFixes only. I have completely skipped the 'updates' section and
there it was ...

Cheers,
Riad.
