Compatible Spectre Version Control File

You can view the compatible Spectre release version for a given Xcelium release using the spectre_compatible_version.xml file, located at:

tools.lnx86/affirma_ams/etc/files/spectre_compatible_version.xml

It is recommended to not modify this file.

To modify the compatible Spectre release version, you can create and edit a new spectre_compatible_version.xml file in one of the following locations:

  • $CWD/.amsd
  • $CDS_WORKAREA/.amsd

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<spectre>
<allow-newer version="19.1.0.348.isr6"/>
<allow version="19.1.0.348.isr6">
</spectre>

This sets the compatible Spectre release version to Spectre 19.1.0.348.isr6 and higher versions.

The following table describes the options you can use in the newly created spectre_compatible_version.xml for editing the compatible Spectre release version for the current Xcelium release.
