iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

cliverolston — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:39:08 GMT

Does anyone know where I can get a schematic/PCB symbol for the iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor?

Hi Clive Rolston,

Now i.MX6 documentation and design files are avilable to public. You can access all the files from the below Freescale webpage link. Duallite design files are available under i.MX6_SABRE_SDP_DESIGNFILES.

Hi Jorge, Thanks for the symbol files. Unfortunately I can't import them into Altium Designer. I'm trying to import the OrCAD symbol into Altium but am having problems. My Altium support guy reckons an OrCAD .llb file could work. Do you have 1 of these? The problem could be to do with your OrCAD files being too new! Altium will only accept OrCAD 16.2 files and older - something to do with a file format change when going to OrCAD 16.3. I'm also having problems importing the iMX6 SABRE board schematic SCH-27516.dsn because the files too new!. My Altium support eng reckons if this can be saved as an OrCAD 16.2 file then it should be possible to import it into Altium. Can you do this for me as our newest OrCAD is 16.2?

Hi Clive,

I can't find how to save the library as *.llb, but I managed to save it in 16.2 format. I'm also attaching sch-27516 in 16.2 in case you want to extract something from there. About the pcb symbol, allegro doesn't seem to have the option to save it as an old version, but I saved it as *.brd instead of *.dra. If this doesn't work for you I'll try to find an alternative.

Best regards.

Jorge.

Thanks very much Jorge. The import in 16.2 format to Altium worked a treat.

Cheers,

Clive

Hi Jorge,

Another favour to ask. I've tried importing the MXDLS_Footprint.brd file into Altium but it doesn't work. The reason is because Allegro must be installed. The *.ALG format should work though. Could you save the Footprint file for me in *.ALG format?

Thanks,

Clive

Cadence OrCad 16.3 may be used to get the .alg file.

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

cliverolston — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 07:59:55 GMT

Yuri, I don't have OrCAD 16.3. Jorge saved other files for me in 16.2 format (see my earlier email)

Cheers,

Clive

As for the mentioned i.MX6_SABRE_SDP_DESIGNFILES, I can send you LAY-27392_C.brd.alg file (as is). The ASCII *.alg file may be imported using the Import Wizard of the Altium Designer.

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

cliverolston — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:49:50 GMT

Is this file LAY-27392_C.brd.alg the whole board layout or just the iMX6 footprint file? Really I'd like the MXDLS_Footprint.alg file so that I can import it into Altium.

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

Yuri — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:52:27 GMT

"LAY-27392_C.brd.alg" is the whole board layout.

Hi Clive and Yuri,

Sorry about the delay, I've just got back from vacation. I've been trying to export the footprint to .alg, but can't find the command in allegro.

Yuri:

Seems like you have done this already with the layout, right? Could you please do it with the footprint too? I'm attaching it.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards.

Jorge.

I just converted the .dra symbol file to OrCad 16.2 version.

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

cliverolston — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 09:34:25 GMT

Yuri (and Jorge) sorry to be a nuisance but I can't import the Orcad 16.2 .dra file into Altium. I can import Allegro .alg files. Can you save the BGA624 footprint file as a .alg file?

Thanks,

Clive

Thanks for the symbol, however, I still don't have the footprint. Could someone please upload the layout in ALG-format, or if you already have the footprint in Altium format that's even better. Anyone?

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

Yuri — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:14:55 GMT

Please try the enclosed.

What's with all the missing pads?

Re: iMX6 Solo/DualLite processor schematic/PCB symbol

cliverolston — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:32:01 GMT

Hi Yuri,

This layout appears to be using the iMX6 Solo Lite 24 x 24 ball package. I was looking for the Solo/DualLite 25 x 25 ball package.

Cheers,

Clive
