Abstract:
A method of waiving verification failures is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) generating a plurality of circuit error files by performing a plurality of physical verifications on a plurality of circuit designs, the circuit error files containing a plurality of circuit errors of the circuit designs, (B) generating a system error file by performing an additional physical verification on a system design, the system error file containing a plurality of system errors of the system design, the system design incorporating the circuit designs and (C) generating a valid error file by removing the circuit errors from the system error file, the valid error file containing a plurality of valid errors comprising a subset of the system errors.
