Hello,
I am using a fairly recent IBM PDK with Calibre 2011 and Cadence IC6.1.4 - both of which are fairly old, probably before the PDK was created.
PDK says it was tested with Cadence IC6.1.7 and Calibre 2015.
I am getting an error with the DRC rules file: I attached it here and deleted the proprietary information.
Is this error because of the version of Cadence I am using and the version of Calibre ?
If I upgrade either or both - will this error go away ?
Can I be fixed with the set up I am using now ?
This posting is similar to one from 8 years ago here which had no answer:
Calibre xRC, PEX setup for 65nm IBM
Can anyone help me resolve this issue ?
Thank you
Hello,
Can you see this KB article? https://support.mentor.com/en/knowledge-base/MG243608
Upgrading to a version of Calibre newer than 2011.3 will fix the issue. Or you can convert the top-level SVRF rule file into a TVF file and the error should go away. Basically, in that version of Calibre, you can't include a TVF file from an SVRF file, which is why one solution is to convert the top-level file to TVF.
