This is my first time to install the Cadence EDA tools in VirtualBox Machine. I searched and read many articles from eetop forum and edaboard.com. And I tried a lot of Linux machine. In final, I decided to use CentOS 5.8 to install these IC design tools.
Yes it is possible to install Cadence and all kxstudio apps from KXStudio repo on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86. For that you need to add these two PPAs: ppa:kxstudio-team/ppa ppa:kxstudio-team/kxstudio Open synaptic package manager and mark Cadence, Festige, Jackd(Upgrade), QjackCTL(Upgrade). Later when you install other tools, they will automatically generate the folder like /opt/cadence/MMSIM131. 6)Now we can search the IC615 in the search bar and select the IC615 tools. Then press Continue on the right corner. After a while, click start on the same position to begin installation. Re: Cadence Not Available In Ubuntu 18.10 Or 19.04 Post by G M Slater » Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:16 pm I followed the instructions to manually install the repositories, both kxstudio and gcc5. Cadence is a set of tools useful for audio production. Cadence itself is also an application (the main one), which this page will document. There are other applications that are part of the Cadence suite, they are usually named as the 'Cadence tools'.
There are top two references I like to recommend to read at first.

After reading the article, we know we don’t need to download these tools by ourselves. We can register on the Cadence website: https://www.cadence.com/pages/registration.aspx. Then go to download.cadence.com to download those tools you need.
The first thing we have to do is to download the InstallScape which is the software designed for other tools installation.
1) mkdir installscape in your $HOME directory(/home/xxx).
2)cut or copy the downloaded file IScape04.23-s004lnx86.t.Z into $HOME/installscape. And then in terminal run the command: zcat IScape04.23-s004lnx86.t.Z | tar -xvf – (which extract all files into installscape) Dh hair | makeup tutorials page 3.
3)mkdir /opt/cadenceunder root authorization. Move the installscape folder into /opt/cadence by sudo mv /home/xxx/installscape /opt/cadence
And please don’t forget change the permission: sudo chown root:root -R /opt/cadence/installscape Video player play youtube or video files on your site download.
4) Then cd to the /opt/cadence/installscape/iscape/bin/ to run sh iscape.sh for launching the InstallScape tool.

5) Click the Search and Install releases icon like telescope, it will ask you login your cadence account. Then we can see many tools list in the middle. Before doing anything, we have to set up the preferences in the menu. Click Preferences –> Directories and set cache dir: /opt/cadence/installscape; set Default Install dir:/opt/cadence; set Default download dir: /opt/xxx/Downloads. Later when you install other tools, they will automatically generate the folder like /opt/cadence/MMSIM131.
6)Now we can search the IC615 in the search bar and select the IC615 tools. Then press Continue on the right corner. After a while, click start on the same position to begin installation.
7) Make sure each tools like MMSIM and ASSURA, CALIBRE, you have to set up OA directory to /opt/cadence/IC615/oa_vxx.xx.xxx which is the OpenAccess installation folder of IC615. If you type some error when you input this directory, don’t worry and you can click configure releases in the menu and select which tool you want to continue for revising the settings stuff after IC615 installation is finished.
8)For ASSURA(DRC&LVS tool) and MMSIM(for spectre simulator) installation they are similar to the above. Search the tools and select them. Click continue and start to install.
9)The above steps are installing the EDA tools. Now we have to path them (IC615, MMSIM, ASSURA, etc) and use the license to get the right to use them.
10)After that, we had better to change the permission for those folders. These commands are used for set up cadence folder to read/executable for other users except root.
sudo chown root:root -R /opt/cadence
sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/cadence
11)Now we need to edit the .bashrc under /home/xxx for tools environment settings.
12)We need to install PDK for IC design.
PS: you need to yum install libelf.so.1 and libXp.so.6 packets.
————————————————————————————————-
The following page is going to talk about how to set up the CALIBRE and ASSURA. These two tools are used for DRC&LVS and parasitic extraction. These three steps are very important in the IC design. DRC is used to check your layout correct or not; LVS is used to match your layout with schematic; PE is used for extracting parasitic resistance and capacitance to let designers know how is chip’s working after fabricated.
1)CALIBRE
2)ASSURA
For Ubuntu system, I had tried different versions. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are my favourite. If you want to download the latest version of Xubunt, please go to xubuntu.org. If you want to download the latest version of Lubuntu, please go to lubuntu.net.

Both of them are very small, lighter and faster. Differently, Xubuntu seems to be more beautiful and Lubuntu is more simple.
Now based on Lubuntu system, I wrote down the following notes for future use.
1. The first thing after installation, we have to update the system and software.
sudo apt-get update
2. Check the additional drivers in the Ubuntu Software Center. For Virtual machine (Virtualbox users), press the device and insert guest addition images. If you are use vmware, you can also add additional drivers to fix the resolution issue.
For virtualbox users, please click Device and insert Guest Additions CD image. Then cd to the media directory. Use the command sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run to install addition stuff. Only after you installed it, you can share the folder from Host system. And you can fix the resolution issue.
