getting a segmentation error(core dumped).. how to resolve this?

[Abhinavkotha1]

created a gate structure in magic and all extraction commands worked fine. when I try to invoke irsim, it shows some warnings and closes abruptly. Even the magic window gets closed and a segmentation error(core dumped) is displayed in terminal.

It sounds like you tried to run IRSIM from inside magic? I haven't done that for a long time and I'm not sure whether it still works correctly or not---Part of the problem is that I'm not sure how IRSIM would pick up the correct setup file for the PDK that way. Try generating a .sim file from magic and then running IRSIM as an independent program. What versions of magic and IRSIM are you using?

Sir, We are using magic 8.3 and irsim 9.7. We used ext2sim command and irsim invoking command in same tkcon window which is from magic.

@Abhinavkotha1 : Yes, but what revisions? Magic version 8.3 has had 402 revisions, while IRSIM 9.7 has had 116.
How are you calling IRSIM from magic? What arguments are you passing to it?

[Abhinavkotha1]

Both are latest revisions. prm file and sim file are the arguments passing. Where can we get prm files for sky130A tech as they are not present in irsim folder.

[RTimothyEdwards]

But they are. There is a whole set of PRM files for sky130A in open_pdks. What version of the PDK are you using?
