AM335x EVM Gerber data

Hi Biser,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes. I understand the Cadence CAD file data exists and I already checked it with Cadence free viewer.

I want a gerber data because I want to copy whole DDR2 interface layout.

Hi Biser,

Thank you so much.

In the AM335x Hardware Design Guide (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Hardware_Design_Guide), it states:

Many thanks. Unfortunately, the Altium importer from Allegro only runs with an Allegro exporter - so you have to install Allegro as well as Altium :-(  Seems pointless to me...

I can view them using Allegro's Viewer, but it isn't really the same as being able to import them directly!

Are they available in any other formats?

Hi:

I have inportet it in to PAD from Mentor Graphice

Keld

Any chance you could send me a copy? <daveb@iinet.net.au>

Maybe the Altium importer will work better with PADS.

TIA

Hi:

Yes if you can help me with a email.

I do not know what Ti will think about it. May be there are some copyright issues, if you put it into production.

Keld

Many thanks.

I doubt TI would mind (any TI-ers reading this?) me copying the DDR signals - I gather that's what they're there for! TI after all, are interested in selling more silicon.

Ok i trye.

The schematic is in PADS format can you use it ?

Keld

Hi send the PCB and the schematic.    I paid 100 euros. for conversion You can donate a little to some in need.
Write and tell us how it went.

Hello David and Keld,

I'm happy to hear you were able to find a solution that allowed you to use portions of the AM335x reference designs. 

The Cadence Silicon Package Board (SPB) tools were used to design these reference designs and we provide these designs in their original format to support AM335x product development. 

TI does not have any issues with you using these reference designs when developing your product.  However, these designs do not represent a production ready product design.  These developments tools were specifically designed with a focus on providing a hardware platform that would be used in a controlled product development environment.  The customer is responsible for designing and verifying their final production product.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks, Paul.

Is there any chance TI could post those files in the Allegro ASCII format, which doesn't require the proprietary converter (extracta.exe) to read them?

Thanks
