Dear colleagues!
I'm new to cp2k and planning to do some QM/MM calculations with it.
So i started with a simple geometry optimization of a small protein of
interest and created prmtop file for it with AmberTools 1.3. &QMMM
input section has been created by gen-cp2k-qmmm.py script I found here
(many thanks to the author!).
But all my calculation attempts failed with "Missing critical
ForceField parameters!" error.
I think that is due to somehow mistaken connectivity generation which
builds extra bonds and/or angles.
So the question is: is it possible for cp2k to take connectivity
information directly from AMBER prmtop or, if it's not, how can I
convert prmtop to psf-file to specify connectivity explicitly?

Thanks in advance,
Ilyas.

CP2K reads natively AMBER top files (both for FF and conn). See
http://cp2k.berlios.de/manual for further info.

Seems like next doesn't work for me:

&MM
&FORCEFIELD
PARMTYPE AMBER
PARM_FILE_NAME ahx.prmtop
&END FORCEFIELD
&POISSON
&EWALD
EWALD_TYPE SPME
GMAX 50 50 50
&END EWALD
&END POISSON
&END MM
&SUBSYS
&CELL
ABC 60.0 60.0 60.0
&END CELL
&TOPOLOGY
CONN_FILE_FORMAT AMBER
CONN_FILE_NAME ahx.prmtop
COORD_FILE_FORMAT PDB
COORD_FILE_NAME ahx.conv.pdb
&END TOPOLOGY
&END SUBSYS

CP2K hangs after printing some CELL related information.
I've uploaded my input, structure and prmtop files here as
http://groups.google.com/group/cp2k/web/AHX.tgz
Could anyone, please, look through them and give me some advices?

Hi,

thanks for reporting this issue. The bug fix is now available in the
CVS.
Best Regards,
Teo

Hi!
Thank you!
Now with CVS version 2.1.283 pure MM calculation seems to work fine,
but QMMM attempts crush with
*
*** 12:48:28 ERRORL2 in qmmm_init:setup_qm_atom_list processor
0 ***
*** err=-300 condition FAILED at line
882 ***
*
I'm using the same input I uploaded here.

Regards,
Ilyas.

Your input is wrong - check CAREFULLY the indexes of the QM atoms and
the MM ones.
