A subreddit for the discussion of all things related to the creation (not usage of!) integrated circuits, both circuit- and process-level. Some ACCEPTABLE topics include: • RF IC Design • VLSI Design • Emerging technology (CNT, emerging memories, 3D Integration, etc) • Foundries • DFM/DFT (Design for Test, Design for Manufacturing) • High-speed signaling (including silicon photonics, and board-level interconnect) • MEMS Devices • Status of IC Firms (Financials, new innovations) • IC-related patent law/news • EDA/CAD tool content • New, cool IC designs/technology in production Some topics that are NOT okay: - How do I make my LED cube work! - Microcontroller programming - PCB layout - Existing IC Designs (e.g., questions about how to utilize an LM3149 chip, etc) at the system level - FPGA utilization/HDLs The key here is that we want our content to be on-topic. If you have content regarding FPGAs, great! Just as long as it is relevant to the design of an FPGA, not the writing of HDL for an FPGA.

We'd like to avoid discussing CAD tools in self-posts too much, especially how-tos, cracking, and so on. We will poll our userbase as we grow to ensure that our moderation parameters fit the need of the slowly-growing community.

Keep your 555 timers over in! Hi everybody.

Cadence Virtuoso Setup Guide. A step-by-step guide for ECE 331 students to setup Cadence Virtuoso for digital gate design. Cadence runs from a server on a UNIX/Linux platform but can be accessed from a PC using software. The Cadence Virtuoso Platform is the industry standard for design of analog and integrated circuits (Front to Back), HF, Mixed-Signal and Custom Digital Designs. With the Virtuoso expansion level you get a low-cost access to this common standard.

I am trying to install Cadence IC615 under ubuntu 14.04LTS. I got all the required files, still the IScape_4.21 installer does not start. When i type sudo sh iscape.sh the result message is: 'The installed InstallScape is not for the LNX86 platform. Please use the InstallScape for LNX86 platform.' What can I do? I tryed it also under ubuntu 10.04LTS, which has been widely tested with, and still i get the same message.

Is there anyone who installed it by himself? Can you provide me some help? Thanks whatsoever.

I was able to 'hack' the script and install the IC615 and the MMSIM 13. In the MMSIM configuration they said to install some libraries via yum, but because i have Ubuntu 14.04 i wrote the apt-get install libstdc++5. It installed some equivalent libraries of what i theorically need (yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ ksh csh libXp* xorg-X11-fonts* compat-libstdc++-33.i686 yum install -y alliance-libs alliance glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686 glibc-devel.i686 glibc yum install -y compat-readline5-5.2-17.1.el6.i686 yum install -y xterm-253-1) Still, when i run the SFK file for configuration it said something like 'libstdc++.so.5 not present', so i installed it and made a link for the 32 bit version of it. Now the error is './sfk: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64' What have I to do now? Should I just try using CentOS and restart everything from zero? Does CentOS use yum or apt?? I'm losing so much time to this;( • • • • •.

The problem there is that you're mixing the 32 bit libstdc++ with the 64 bit. You probably did it fine with the symlink, but the binary is a 32 bit and finding a 64 bit library, so you probably symlinked the wrong type. Also: Losing time? Man, you haven't even started:-). Wait until you need to crack all the activation and licensing crap.

THAT is a time waster. If you're really installing something for a serious, geunie installation you should definitely use CentOS or whatever is recommended by Cadence. But seeing as you're using IC615 and not newer I'm guessing this is a home lab. Hi man, I want to start with a big thank for answering me whatsoever.

Let me know if i can do something like give you a like somewhere,karma. You are completely right it is a home lab:-) I just get different tutorials for each different package I am installing, and not all of them are for my distribution (ubuntu 14.04), so i have difficulties in 'tailoring' this suit all together. If u are used to this stuff as it seems to me, can i cut and paste you the parts of the patch guides which are problematic?

Can u put an eye on them? I can private message if u want for not spamming this discussion over.

OK, i was able to install everything and to run virtuoso. But it ends saying i need Framework II license, because i couldn't run the.SFK file in the patch of the IC615, because it keeps giving me the error: libstdc++.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64. I spammed a lot of links of this library everywhere and i got something wrong i guess. Online they say to install ia32-libs but i can't on ubuntu 14.04. I followed this guide and installed those packets, but i really can't find what is the file i need to link or exactly where i have to link it.
