Getting "hyperlinks" into the DxDesigner Output Window

September 9, 2011, 3:38 am

I have a utility that scans a schematic extracting Bill of Material information. As part of the extraction process component attributes are checked against our internal company standards. If any components are found to be in error (e.g Value set to TBA!, part numbers not specified etc) then details are listed to the Output Window in a new tab. So far so good.

 

What I really want now is to be able to click on a line on the output window and then have the the system select and zoom in on the corresponding component. Now either there is some special format I have to use when writing to this window or I have to make use of the IHtmlCtrl->RegisterErrorExpression function (exported from OutputWindow70.dll). Either way I am now stumped by the total lack of documentation / example code. Has anyone else come up against this?

Jlink doesn't seem to be downloading to ATSAM3UEK

I'm working with the v1.0.0 realease of the ATSAM3UEK bsp but I don't think code is being downloaded to the board during debug.

 

I'm using a Jlink to debug the Kernel Demo as a Nucleus application. The project appears to build without issue.

It seems that the Jlink connects to the board and Codebench will seem to step though the code - moves to next source line in csgnu_asm.S on each Step Over (Jlink activity light blinks on each step). However, in the Disassembly window, *all* instructions are listed as "movs r0,r0".

 

If I click on gdb in the Debug tab, it lists the following messages:

 

warning: while parsing target description (at line 38): Register "CR" has unknown type "CR"

warning: Could not load XML target description; ignoring

warning: while parsing target description (at line 38): Register "CR" has unknown type "CR"

warning: Could not load XML target description; ignoring

 

Is there some initial configuration that needs to be done to use the Jlink? The release notes indicate that the bsp is compatible with the Jlink.

 

Regards,

Galen

All,

 

I have a GDS II open in Calibre DesignRev.  Now I want to get the x,y coordinates of a particular cell in a die. Also, Is it possible to get x,y coordinates of all the cells or particular type (like AND gates) or to Highlight / Select all the cells of a particular type in complete layout.

Loss of relationship between differential pairs

Hi all,

 

Suddenly differential pairs have lost their relationship when routing. In constraint editor and other places they are still defined as differential pairs. But when I tried to plow them, they act as individual traces.

 

What could be the cause for this ?

 

Thank you

Hello everyone,

 

Quick question with regards to wire terminals.

 

We are using the generative design method.  In my Integrator design, I am assigning a terminal material spec to each wire (SN).  When I sync my design into Harness XC, and run harness processing, the startterminal and endterminal attributes are not SN, but are change to TP.

 

Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

 

 

Thank you!!

xDM Library and xDX Designer issue

When I'm creating the top module in xDx Designer, there was an error

"No part data.
No Part Number, Part Name, nor Part Label has been entered.
Please enter some data to enable packaging"

 

I went back to xDM Library Tools > Part Editor and updated the properties. But xDX Designer didn't update with

the properties I entered. (I updated Libraries in xDX Designer)

 

How can I solve this? (As a temporary solution, I updated properties for each part in xDX Designer)

How to convert Allegro BRD file to ExpeditionPCB?

Hi All,

 

Does anybody have an experience in converting Allegro BRD file to ExpeditionPCB? My platform is Windows7.


I've got Allegro BRD file and now need to translate it into ExpeditionPCB.
For this, I have downloaded Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.6 from Cadence site and also added Allegro To Expedition Translator to my EE7.9.5.
Then I follow allegro2exp.pdf documentation:

 

1. I've set three environment variables:

 

   AEX_BIN_ROOT=D:\MentorGraphics\7.9.5EE\SDD_HOME\translators\win32\bin
   AEX_ENABLE_JOBPREFS_LAYER_FIX=1
   ALLEGRO_LONG_PACKAGE_NAME=TRUE

 

2. I've set the environment variable for Cadence:
   HOME=D:\MyCadence\


   Then I have created \pcbenv within D:\MyCadence and copied all the *.il files from \7.9.5EE\SDD_HOME\translators\skill_scripts into D:\MyCadence\pcbenv folder.

 

3. I've successfully opened my BRD file in Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.6.


   In Command pane I've typied the following command:
   skill load "dfl_main.il"

 

   However, this command failed, with the following message:
   Command not found: skill load "dfl_main.il"

 

Does anybody have any advice?

 

Regards,
Oleg

Hi guys, i just installed fedora 20 and Quartus II 13.1 with Model Sim Starter Edition.

I tried to reinstall and sam thing happened. I tried downloaded Quartus 13.0 and same thing occurs.

I read in a ArchLinux forum that maybe it is a problem with an update on freetype package, but i just dont know how to fix it.

Somebody knows what this is?

Please give me a reason to keep sticking with PADS

June 11, 2013, 11:09 pm

Ok, I'm a little bit stressed out in here. I'm running basically a one man engineering office. I have PADS LS Suite and use mostly Logic and PADS Layout - only occasionally PADS Router but no DxDesigner at all.

 

With the new design where I need to apply SDRAM or even DDR, it would help alot to have length control for routing the bus. A signal integrity check would be nice feature as well and for few times I have missed differential routing rules that are not included in PADS Router in LS suite.

 

These features I can get my upgrading my PADS to ES Suite, but it does cost money. Plus to this, my annual subscription would double. So, I've started to look for other options as well... And one is Altium Designer, that is half the price of ES Suite, but about the same in cost of LS -> ES upgrade. I have evaluated Altium now a little bit and it does look like a nice tool. I probably does have its flaws as well, but features are many and from my point of view most what I would use are quite capable doing what they were designed to do. Absolutely welcome features are things like gerber tools (I can view gerbers I made, I can do panelizing) or generating STEP models from my boards (I have had requests from my clients for this and IDF is NOT an solution unless I want to ask for my clients each time to buy a IDF importer plugin for their MCAD just for importing this one object to their system, that's plain silly).

 

The schematic capture is also quite nice looking although it will take time to get used to it. I guess DxDesigner comes close to it in features such as reusability and blocking your repeatable parts of your design but there is a learning curve as well thus no matter what route I go I need to familiarize myself with the new tool. Altium also offers lots of ready made library components that can be used to build your own library quicker (saves tons of time for new components, like MCU's). Also trainings are either free (when under subscription) or at least very, very reasonable priced. I can't help but feel that Altium offers more bang for a buck. I'm starting to feeling like I'm a too small user for Mentor Graphics for it to be the supplier for my EDA software.

 

I don't know, I'm pulling my hair off while I'm trying to make the decision between these two options. Then again I have also a third option: just to try going on with the current tools even if it is not the perfect choice.

In Library Manager application startup script below, I realize that Library Manager Task ID application still exist even I already quit Library Manager application. I used the same startup script below for DxDesigner and Expedition applications. Both applications quit or exit completely without Task ID in Windows Task Manager. Is this a bug of Exit functionality in Library Manager? Any workaround you can advise to kill Library Manager application in Windows Task Manager?
