TMDXRM57LHDK: RM57 HDK Design Files

Part Number: TMDXRM57LHDK

Hi All

Please can you let me know what format the PCB layout is for spnr038.zip. I have tried to import RM57_hdk_reve.brd into AltiumDesigner AD22 as an Eagle design but it does not recognize the file. I have also tried to open the file in Eagle v9.6.2 and it responds with an error.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

regards

Warren

  • Hi Warren,

    The HDK is designed using Cadence Allegro 17.x.

  • Thanks very much QJ Wang.

    It appears as if Altium needs the Cadence Allegro running on the PC to import the files format. I downloaded and installed the Design Viewer from Cadence but I am not  able to import the PCB with this - error windows indicates Cadence Allegro Installation not found. Do you know if anyone would be able to export the PCB into another format?

    Regards, Warren

  • HI Warren,

    I am sorry I don't have Allegro PCB editor on my machine. The RM57x launchpad was designed using Eagle. Is it ok to use launchpad PCB as your reference?

  • Thanks QJ

    I have managed to open the LaunchXL2-RM57 in Eagle - will try get this imported into Altium to use as the reference.

  • Dear QJ

    I managed to import the LaunchXL2-RM57 into Altium so will use this for reference for future layout.

    Do you possibly have any of the Hercules HDK boards in Eagle format. I would like to confirm board layout as we intend using the HDK for a PoC on a development.

    Thanks Warren
