FW: [IBIS-Users] s2ibis2 spectre issues

I think the : Data begin marker transfer not found in output file
put1.out

Could be related to a format issue in one of your source file.

You could try to run Spectre stand alone on the .spi files that the tool
generated and make sure you get a correct .out file.

That will at least eliminate any issues with Spectre.

IF all the .out files are generated correctly, then the problem is the
s2ibis2.sun4.fix tool unable to format it into a .ibs model.

No luck:

s2ibis2.sun4.fix: [Iterate] set and file put1.out exists. Skipping run.

s2ibis2.sun4.fix: Data begin marker transfer not found in output file
put1.out.

s2ibis2.sun4.fix: Curve pullup not generated.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I had some trouble
running Spectre in the first place. I ended up using the example from
the s2ibis documentation default:

[Spice command] spectre -f nutascii -c 132 %s -r %s > %s

Ok, I am going to assume that when your [Spice type] was set to HSPICE
in the past, you had no issues. Now your [Spice type] says Spectre.

Since your generated .out files looks good, go back to the .s2i file and
change the [Spice type] to HSPICE and re-run the s2ibis2.sun4.fix

It will not re-generate all the .out files or the .spi since they are
already there.

Maybe (and this is the guess part), it can now construct the .ibs file
with the correct data from the .out files.

Still not sure why for a Spectre option it did not re-construct the .ibs

Hi,

I'm trying to generate an IBIS model for a standard 3-state buffer from
a Spectre netlist for the first time. I've done it many times before
using HSPICE. Spectre appears to not subtract the GND clamp from the
pull-down curve correctly. The values I see in the .out files look
reasonable, but it seems to be some issue with s2ibis creating the IBIS
model. Has anyone seen this problem before? I'm running s2ibis2 V1.1
on unix. I also tried s2ibis2.sun4.fix v1.1 with no success. I'm
unable to run s2ibis3 due to java issues.
