S32K3X4EVB-T172 PCB .brd ASCII export or Altium PcbDoc

[sholland96]

I'm hoping someone can help to provide an ASCII export of the S32K3X4EVB-T172 PCB layout .brd file, or an Altium PcbDoc that someone has already creating after importing into Altium. Unfortunately the .brd file that has been provided is able to be imported into Altium as is.

Hi @sholland96,

Unfortunately, we only provide CADENCE files, as we do not have license for Altium tool. 

It is not possible to convert for ASCII format, but you may try to import these files using the Altium Wizard: Importing a Design from Allegro.

Best regards,
Julián

As I mentioned I cannot import the .brd file into Altium. This is the message I get.

In the article you've shared, it states below that an ASCII export from Allegro is required. I've asked for this before for other files from NXP, and it hasn't been a problem.

Hi @sholland96

As I've said, unfortunately, we do not have these files, nor can we convert them. I can ask the internal team to see if they have it available, however, it may take some time to get an answer.

You mentioned you've asked for these files before, could you reach out to your assigned NXP salesperson instead?

Best regards,
Julián

Hi @sholland96

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was under the impression the .brd file you mentioned in your initial post was the one inside the S32K3X4EVB-T172 HW pack.

[sholland96]

Yes, the .brd file in the S32K3X4EVB-T172_HWPack_RevB2 cannot be imported into Altium. It must be a .alg ASCII export from Allegro. 

FWIW, I've also reached out to our local NXP RSM.
