# Blocked by Tweaker don't use setting
Description
During vt-swap, sizing and insertion operation, Tweaker will not use the
instance if it has "dont-use" attribute. Hence, Tweaker will not report
this blocking message if Tweaker is trying to use this cell.
"Dont-use" attribute can either come from its corresponding LIB file or
Tweaker command as below:
set_dont_use_cell [true|false] -file file [-module module_list]
[-power_domain power_domain_list]
[-quiet]
set_dont_use_cell [true|false] cell_name_list [-module module_list]

[-quiet]
User are able to set a higher priority compared to the repeater/buffer/delay/inverter
list by using below variable:
set high_priority_for_dont_use_attribute true (default: false)
Next step
1. Report the cell-type with "dont-use" attribute by using below command:
B051 73
report_dont_use_cell
2. Remove "don't use" attribute from the corresponding cell-type by using
below command:

2. By default, when variable slk_auto_configure_candidate_list is true, Tweaker
will auto configure insertion cell when there is no cell in candidate list.
If Tweaker can't find suitable cell from candidate list, Tweaker will report
this blocking code.
B053 77
If variable slk_auto_configure_candidate_list is disabled and there is no cell
in candidate list, Tweaker will not perform the ECO and show this blocking code.
Next step

# Blocked by no buffer cell
Description
During repeater, buffer, or delay insertion operation, when the dont-touch
setting has a higher priority than repeater setting, there will be two
scenarios that will lead to this blocking code:
Scenario 1:
If the given list contains repeater/buffer/delay cells, if all of the
candidate cell has "dont-use" attribute, then Tweaker will give this
blocking message.
Scenario 2:
If the given list is empty, then Tweaker will automatically search for
the usable repeater/buffer/delay cells on its own.
If all repeater/buffer/delay cells within the design has "dont-use"
attribute, then Tweaker will give this blocking message.
Users are able to set whether dont-touch setting has the higher priority than
the repeater list by using below command:
By default, Tweaker will honor and still use the cell that is listed in the
repeater/buffer/delay list even though those cells have dont-touch attribute.

# Blocked by (not) Always On issue
Description
During repeater or delay insertion operation for setup and hold autofix,
if the net is connected to an always-on buffer, and if Tweaker need to
perform the insertion on the always-on domain, then Tweaker will need
always-on cell.
When Tweaker cannot find any suitable always-on cell in the repeater or
delay list then Tweaker will report this blocking message.
Next step
1. Please specify always-on cell into below corresponding variables:
(a) Insertion operation for setup autofix:
set slk_repeater_insertion_buff_list { AON_BUFX2 AONBUFX4 AONBUFX8 }
(b) Insertion operation for hold autofix:
set slk_delay_insertion_buff_list { AON_BUFX2 AONBUFX4 AONBUFX8 \
AON_DLYX2 AONLYX4 AONLYX8 }
2. If Tweaker is still reporting this blocking message even after we specify
the always-on cells, it means that the given always-on candidate is not
suitable for the insertion. Hence, please provide always-on buffer with
B082 115
higher driving capability or higher delay value.

# Blocked by max over fixing
Description
This blocking message can be seen on two autofix scenario:
1. Delay insertion during hold autofix:
While performing delay insertion during hold autofix, Tweaker will not
allow the insertion if it is causing an over-fixed more than 200ps.
2. Bus balance:
2a. For normal bus balance, by using below command:
(without "-skew skew_value" option)
slkfix -balance ...
While reducing the delay of the longest path, Tweaker will not allow if
the post-eco arrival time is shorter than the delay of the shortest
path.
While increasing the delay of the shortest path, Tweaker will also not
allow if the post-eco arrival time is longer than the delay of the
longest path.
When the post-eco delay is exceeding above criteria, Tweaker will not
perform the ECO operation and Tweaker will give this blocking message.
2b. For bus balance with "-skew skew_value" option:
B135 175
slkfix -balance -skew skew_value ...
While the post-eco skew between longest path and the shortest path is
smaller than the specified value, Tweaker will not perform the ECO
operation and Tweaker will give this blocking message.

Tweaker cannot perform leakage power ECO operation on the cell whose does
not have leakage power information within its corresponding LIB file since
Tweaker will need those cell leakage power information to do the leakage
power calculation.
Next step
1. Please provide the corresponding LIB files for Tweaker.
2. Please check the leakage power of the corresponding pin in the LIB file.
3. Please check define the correct leakage lib group.
set slk_leakage_power_lib tt
set slk_leakage_power_lib_voltage 1.0
set slk_leakage_power_lib_temperature 25

# Blocked by voltage sensitivity (V_sensit) is not improved
Description
In Vmin ECO, Tweaker will not change cell if the voltage sensitivity
(V_sensit) of the ECO cell is not improved.
The lower value of voltage sensitivity derives the better results for
Vmin ECO.
The voltage sensitivity is initialized by Vmin report from Vmin
analysis tool (i.e., PrimeShield ) and updated by Tweaker Vmin
ECO engine.
The corners for the V_sensit reference are defined by command:
set_voltage_sensitivity_corner
The voltage sensitivity is denoted at the pin of timing path. It relates
to the cell delay and the trend of the timing degration estimated
in specific VDD drop - usually 10mV.
Next step
Please check the given sizing rule.

# Blocked by hack comb-logic cell only
Description
By default, Tweaker will hack the cell delay for both combinational and
sequential cells during the hack sdf stage.
When Tweaker tried to touch sequential cells, Tweaker will not perform the ECO
operation if the variable "slk_hack_comb_logic_cell_only" is set to true, and
will report this blocking message.
Next step
Please disable below variable to allow touch both combinational and sequential
cells:
set slk_hack_comb_logic_cell_only false
B242 301
B247
# Blocked by minimum improved IR-dropped ratio.
Description
During IR ECO, if IR drop ratio improvement for each ECO operation is smaller
than the given minimum ratio improvement.
Next step
Please set a smaller minimum IR drop ratio improvement by using below variables:
set slk_ir_eco_min_improved_ratio 0.0001
B247 302
B248
# Blocked by fix IR without sizing up
Description
By default, during IR ECO, Tweaker will not allow any sizing-up operation.
Next step
Tweaker didn't allow and perform any sizing-up ECO operation.
B248 303
B249
# Blocked by slk fix keep obs geometry
Description
Tweaker cannot perform the ECO operation when user enable "keep obs geometry"
function.
Users are able to enable the "keep obs geometry" function to keep the cell obs
geometry modification by using variable:
set slk_fix_keep_obs_geometry true
Next step
Please disable "keep obs geometry" function by using below variable:
set slk_fix_keep_obs_geometry false
B249 304
B251
# Blocked by IR prediction communication error.
Description
During IR ECO, Tweaker will communicate with RHSC to get real-time IR drop ECO
difference. If Tweaker get error message from RHSC, it will show this blocking
and blocked this instance IR ECO.
Next step
Please contact Synopsys AE.
B251 305
B252
# Blocked by power eco ignore power/ground connected cell
Description
During power eco, Tweaker wouldn't touch cell which is connected with
power/ground net.
Next step
1. If user still want to save those kinds of cell leakage power, user
can disable the following variable.
set slk_power_eco_ignore_power_net false
B252 306
B253
# Blocked by missing driving port/cell
Description
During power eco, Tweaker wouldn't touch cell which is missing driving
port/cell.
Next step
Please check your verilog logic design correct or not.
