[Cadence] ICFB 5 -> 615

As ICFB 5 and ICFB 6 use different Library Format (From CDBA to OA), you may use the command cdb2oa to translate the Library.

SOLUTION

1. Copy the old library into a temp directory in new library with it's cds.lib
Make sure you maintain a good path in cds.lib

/newCDS/cds.lib -> Don't Touch! The tool will handle it.

/oldCDS/myIC/ -> /newCDS/tmp/myIC/
/oldCDS/cds.lib -> /newCDS/tmp/cds.lib

2. Run the command in the director of new lib
/newCDS/ > cdb2oa -lib myIC -cdslibpath tmp/

or you can run this directly in the new library (but I tend to make a copy and make it save.)

/newCDS/ > cdb2oa -lib myIC -cdslibpath /oldCDS/

  1. case study:
    OS: CentOS 5.9
    OA: oa_v22.41.029
    Process: convert from Hit-Kit3.7 to Hit-Kit 4.1 in different PC

    Remarks:
    1. cdb2oa -lib myIC -cdslibpath tmp/
    where myIC is the library name inside the old file's cds.lib
    2. tmp/ is the directory of the old files
    3. the command need to be executed in the new directory
