      tsmc have inductors !
      anyway you can go to tsmc directory and reinstall it by writing this command
      perl pdkinstall.pl

      or you can get the complete PDK from here

    Hi Islam,
    Thanks a lot for the upload. Everything is working smoothly except that the Calibre license is not setup properly. So I am posting here a brief tutorial regarding how to set up the Calibre license.

    Hi everyone:

    This virtual machine is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    I have two problems:
    1) In ADS2011, when I try to set EM setup in Layout, I received the following message: Cannot start the cluster: eesofg2p crashed.
    I tried to make EM simulations in ADS2009 and it worked well.
    But I really want to use ADS2011 because its more intuitive because the user interface.

    2) In Sonnet, when I try to start a new design, I received the message about the licence error.

    Its possible to fix these errors?

    Regards,
    Eduardo Sousa.

      for sonnet error there are 2 possible solutions
      1-when you open the VM choose i moved it NOT I COPY IT
      2-in the virtual machine directory (in windows) find .vmx file then
      remove the following options:
      ethernet[0].generatedAddress
      ethernet[0].addressType
      ethernet[0].generatedAddressOffset
      and Add this
      ethernet0.Address = "The Host ID in sonnet license file"
      ethernet0.addressType = "static"
      and restart the VM it should work fine

    2. EduardoNovember 4, 2016 at 5:45 AM

    Hi Eslam,
    Thanx for the VM, its very helpful. Only that simulations in cadence virtuoso using "tsmc13rf" library gives error due to missing model files. So it would be great if you could provide the model files for same. Thanks in advance !!

    Please Please Please could you upload the VM_RF.rar file on another host. Downloading such a big file from Google Drive is a nightmare. I had many so interruptions and throttling from Google. And you can't even resume the download if it stops. Could you please try using another host? (Google drive really sucks, it's horrible)
    Thanks!
