Install TSMC N16 ADFP PDK
1. Extract TSMC N16 ADFP tar file TSMC N16 ADFP (Academic Design Foster Package) is an advance process design kit provided by TSMC. It is used for academic only, and only some universities is licensed to use it. NSYSU is one of them. In order to use TSMC N16 ADFP in virtuoso ICADVM, we need to extract it to our home directory. Please use your account to run $ tar xfva N16ADFP_iPDK.tar -C ~/ It will extract all files to your ~/N16ADFP_iPDK 2. Create a new library $ cd ~/N16ADFP_iPDK ~/N16ADFP_iPDK$ source /opt/EDA/bashrc_icadvm ~/N16ADFP_iPDK$ virtuoso We can create a new ADFP library using "Attach to an existing technology library", and attach it to tsmcN16. Then you can create you own new library. 3. Test run Now, we can create a new inv layout view to see whether it has calibre on it or not. There is no calibre in the menu list. We need to add calibre to the menu list. Before we continue, we need to exit ICADVM first. 4. Integrate calibre into virtuoso ICADVM 4.1 check CALIBRE_HOME environment variable: $ env | grep CALI CALIBRE_HOME=/opt/EDA/calibre/cur You should see an environment variable called CALIBRE_HOME 4.2 edit .cdsinit ~/N16ADFP_iPDK$ vi .cdsinit load( strcat( getShellEnvVar("CALIBRE_HOME") "/shared/pkgs/icv/tools/queryskl/calibre.skl" )) and save it. *** If .cdsinit does not exists, you need to create a new one *** After this configuration, we can run virtuoso again. 5. Test run again. ~/N16ADFP_iPDK$ virtuoso & If your .cdsinit file is correct, you should see the following messages: // // Calibre Skill Interface * (v2024.4_12.9) * // // Copyright Siemens 1996-2020 // All Rights Reserved. // THIS WORK CONTAINS TRADE SECRET AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION // WHICH IS THE PROPERTY OF MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION // OR ITS LICENSORS AND IS SUBJECT TO LICENSE TERMS. // // Now, we can open an inv layout view to see the menu list. However, if you run virtuoso from other directory. You may not be able to use calibre inside virtuoso. Because .cdsinit file is only effective form the directory you start virtuoso. Thus you need to create/copy .cdsinit file form ~/N16ADFP_iPDK directory. The command is : ~$ cp ~/N16ADFP_iPDK/.cdsinit . Then you can run virtuoso again.

Discussion of TSRI configuration files
Discussion of TSRI configuration files
======= Cadence environment In virtuoso download web page, we can see that there are some additional files provided by TSRI, which are: installation_guide_cadence.txt CIC.tar installation_guide_cadence.txt is to describe how to install EDA tools using TSRI way. CIC.tar is the environment setting. Basically, they are all C shell script. We can use the following command to extract CIC.tar: $ cat CIC.tar | tar xfv - Then it will extract a CIC directory. Then we can take a look inside. $ cd CIC CIC $ ls assura.cshrc ext.cshrc integrand.cshrc pegasus.cshrc ssv.cshrc ccd.cshrc genus.cshrc jasper.cshrc pvs.cshrc stratus.cshrc confrml.cshrc ic6.cshrc liberate.cshrc quantus.cshrc tempus.cshrc ctos.cshrc icadvm.cshrc license.cshrc rc.cshrc verisium.cshrc ddi.cshrc ic.cshrc mmsim.cshrc sigrity.cshrc vmanager.cshrc edi.cshrc incisiv.cshrc modus.cshrc spb.cshrc xcelium.cshrc ets.cshrc innovus.cshrc neocircuit.cshrc spectre.cshrc Inside this directory, there are some files relating to our environment setting so far: ic6.cshrc -> IC 6 icadvm.cshrc -> ICADVM ic.cshrc -> IC 5141 license.cshrc -> License Check, we need to check the license check port. Basically, all cadence EDA softwares use 5280 port in TSRI environment One day, if you want to write a program or a shell script. Please remember KISS principle. K eep I t S imple S tupid == Why should we use Bash not CSH You can type $ env |grep SHELL bash Basically all Linux operation system use bash as it's default SHELL environment. However, TSRI provide only CSH setting. Thus I rewrite all the configurations to bash. And it is much more easier to debug. ==================================== ======= Synopsys environment If you check HSPICE Download web page, you will also see the following files: installation_guide_synopsys.txt -> Installation guide for Synopsys software. TCAD_CIC.tar -> This is the setting file for TCAD, we don't use it. CIC.tar -> This is the configurations files for Synopsys software. We can use the same command to extract CIC.tar: $ tar xfva CIC.tar $ cd CIC CIC $ ls 3dicc.cshrc icv.cshrc protocompiler.cshrc adp.cshrc icv_wb.cshrc qatk.cshrc architect.cshrc identify.cshrc rtl_arch.cshrc asip.cshrc laker.cshrc siliconsmart.cshrc certify.cshrc laker_oa.cshrc spyglass.cshrc coreconsultant.cshrc lc.cshrc star-rcxt.cshrc cosmos_scope.cshrc license.cshrc synopsys_dc.setup.18 customcompiler.cshrc license_TCAD.cshrc synopsys_dc.setup.35 customexplorer.cshrc milkyway.cshrc synplify.cshrc dsoai.cshrc mwdt.cshrc synthesis.cshrc dwip.cshrc nanosim.cshrc tcad.cshrc euclide.cshrc optocompiler.cshrc tmax.cshrc fc.cshrc optodesigner.cshrc vc_formal.cshrc finesim.cshrc pa_virtualizer.cshrc vcs.cshrc formality.cshrc powrep.cshrc vcs-mx.cshrc hercules.cshrc primepower.cshrc vera.cshrc hsimplus.cshrc primerail.cshrc verdi.cshrc hspice.cshrc primesim.cshrc verdi-ncverilog.cshrc icc2.cshrc primetime.cshrc verdi-vcs.cshrc icc.cshrc primewave.cshrc xa.cshrc hspice.cshrc -> HSPICE setting license.cshrc -> License setting, in this file, we can see that Synopsys's License check port is 265865. You need to remember it. If you need to check Cadence & Synopsys Licenses, you need to configure your environment like this: LM_LICENSE_FILE=5280@lstn:26585@lstn export LM_LICENSE_FIL

Thus we really need to install libpng12 file. Before we find & install libpng12 file. We need to remove libpng12.so.0 softlink. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# rm libpng12.so.0 ========================= How do we find libpng12 file ? We can google libpng12 debian and it show that we can go to Debian archive website to download it.

Install Cadence ICADVM
Purpose: Install Cadence ICADVM
1. Download files from TSRI, the files are: ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_1of4.tgz ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_2of4.tgz ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_3of4.tgz ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_4of4.tgz 2. Extract/Install the downloaded files: # tar xfva ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_1of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA # tar xfva ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_2of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA # tar xfva ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_3of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA # tar xfva ICADVM_20.10.340_linux_4of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA 3. Configure Env. # cd /opt/EDA /opt/EDA # cp bashrc_eda bashrc_icadvm /opt/EDA # vi bashrc_icadvm
2025年6月7日 星期六
Install Cadence Virtuoso
Step 1: Download all the required files.
In this case, we need to download the following files:
- IC_06.18.350_linux_1of4.tgz
- IC_06.18.350_linux_2of4.tgz
- IC_06.18.350_linux_3of4.tgz
- IC_06.18.350_linux_4of4.tgz
Step2: Extrac & Installation
1. Create /opt/EDA directory, you need to use root permission.
Before we begin, we can check the content of /opt directory:
# ls -l /opt
total 0
It shows there is nothing inside. Then we can create /opt/EDA directory:
# mkdir -p /opt/EDA
# ls -l /opt
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 3月 7 10:03 EDA
Now you can see that we've already created /opt/EDA directory.
** You only need to do this once **
Extract virtuoso to /opt/EDA directory, please go to your download directory, then type the following commands:
# tar xfva IC_06.18.350_linux_1of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA
./IC/cur
./IC/IC_06.18.350/Hotfix_IC06.18.350_lnx86.sdp
./IC/IC_06.18.350/ic_index.sdx
./IC/IC_06.18.350/IC_README
./IC/IC_06.18.350/IC_ReleaseInfo.pdf
./IC/IC_06.18.350/tools
..
The above command is to extract IC_06.18.350_linux_1of4.tgz to /opt/EDA directory. If there is no error message (no output)
# tar xfva IC_06.18.350_linux_2of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA
# tar xfva IC_06.18.350_linux_3of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA
# tar xfva IC_06.18.350_linux_4of4.tgz -C /opt/EDA
When all the 4 files are extracted & installed. We can proceed to Config Env. step.
Step 3. Config Env.
I usually put bashrc_eda in /opt/EDA directory for everyone to use.
Config /etc/hosts, and add the following lines in it.
140.126.24.16 lshc
140.110.140.29 lstc
140.110.127.149 lstn
Step: 4. Test
Before we run virtuoso, we need to load the configuration file, please run
the following command:
$ source /opt/EDA/bashrc_eda
If you do not load the config file (bashrc_eda), you will see errors like
this:
$ virtuoso
-bash: virtuoso: command not found
$ virtuoso
-bash: /opt/EDA/IC/cur/tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso: cannot execute: required file not found
Basically, virtuoso is installed. However, there are a lot of errors that
need to be fixed. Thus, we are going to Trouble shooting section.
Step. 5: Trouble shooting
We are going to troubleshoot errors one by one.
Error1:
$ virtuoso
-bash: /opt/EDA/IC/cur/tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso: cannot execute: required file not found
Solution:
# cd /bin
# ls -l sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 1月 5 2023 sh -> dash
# rm sh
# ln -s /bin/bash sh
# ls -l sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 3月 7 11:34 sh -> /bin/bash
First, we need to change the softlink of /bin/sh to /bin/bash, not to use
/bin/dash anymore.

error message. This means that we have solve the prior error. However, we've
encountered another error here.
