Problem Title:
MENTOR (Convert Design) after retargetting design, design is empty.
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
After using Convert Design to re-target your design, design is empty. What can
cause this?
Solution 1:
One possible reason is as follows :
When running Convert Design the extract hierachy fuction is called. In this part of
the script ($LCA/des_arch/da_session.ample) there is the following line :
$system("cat /tmp/hierarchy_list.tmp | grep -v LCA | grep -v MGC_GENLIB | grep -v primitive > /tmp/h
ierarchy_list.convert_design");
grep is used to remove references to the libraries so just the design remains.
However if your design is referenced by a location map containing LCA or
MGC_GENLIB then it will alos be removed and hence your design becomes empty.
A workaround is to either change you location map entry or modify this line to read
something like the following :
$system("cat /tmp/hierarchy_list.tmp | grep -v '$LCA/' | grep -v '$MGC_GENLIB' | grep -v primitive >
/tmp/hierarchy_list.convert_design");
This way only the the library paths are removed unless your project references
still clash.
