I am trying to make these instructions work. I am having some difficulties along the way, it would be of great help if you could point me to the right direction!
I have tried to follow the instructions in the web site. I did not quite understood the step 2 and 3.
add the Python path to the first line of each script in this directory
I am not sure which python path is this. Is this $PDK_DIR/ncsu_basekit/gentech/sshaft/bin? And after trying a while, it seemed have created a bin folder: $PDK_DIR/ncsu_basekit/gentech/bin and copied all *.py files here.
While updating the icoa_setup.csh, I have found that, I also needed to source the setup.csh file as well, otherwise the NCSU_TechLib_FreePDK45 or NCSU_Devices_FreePDK45 library do not load in Cadence Virtuoso.
Finally, when I run the command gentech.py -log gen.log from $PDK_DIR/ncsu_basekit/gentech, I am getting the following error:
/home/class/ahmed589/NCSU-FreePDK45-1.4/FreePDK45/ncsu_basekit/gentech/sshaft/bin/gentech.py: Permission denied
Probably because: the first line of the gentech.py is not an executable file, rather a folder
#!/home/class/ahmed589/NCSU-FreePDK45-1.4/FreePDK45/ncsu_basekit/gentech/sshaft/src/py/
if the line is changed to
#!/home/class/ahmed589/NCSU-FreePDK45-1.4/FreePDK45/ncsu_basekit/gentech/sshaft/src/py/gentech.py
then the following error message is found:
import: Command not found.
Badly placed ()'s.
Maybe the following info would be helpful:
- Operating system:
Linux 2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64 - Cadence Virtuoso version
6.1.5 - oaGetVersion :
22.41.004 - Pycell studio version :
