- At one of my clients site, we were trying to generate a symbol
- from the Xilinx post routed verilog netlist file so we could
- bring the xilinx part back into the system for board level
- simulation and were unable to generate a symbol from the
- verilog view because of a bug from Cadence. Below is a description
- of the problem and the solution:
-
- Problem: When I did a check and save on the read only verilog
- textual window, cadence composer asks me if I want to generate
- a symbol. I answered yes and it says symbol generated but when
- I checked in the browser there was not symbol view. Only the
- original functional view. What went wrong? There were no error
- or warning messages in the ciw window.
-
- Solution: There is a bug with cds version 4.2.58.5 that makes it
- necessary to do a lbCheckOut "900" in order to generate
- a functional view off a symbol. Product 900 is skill development.
- This is because the procedure ssg requires skill development.
-
- In order to fix this problem type the following in the ciw
- window first:
-
- lbCheckOut "900"
-
- If you don't have a skill dev license and need the functional
- to symbol generator, get the key on loan from you local sales
- person until Cadence fixes this bug.
-
- You should not be required to have product 900 checked out in
- order to run this option. This is a little silly.
