Dear everyone,
I am just starting a custom board using the iMX6Dual processor and get Design files from SABRE Board Reference Design|NXP . But the design files is allegro layout .brd file and orcad .dsn file. Mentor pads logic and pads layout is the only CAD tools in our company. How can I get mentor pads .pcb and .sch files from these .brd and .dsn files or already have these files but I have not found?
Any advices will be welcome. It will be a great time saver. ThX.
Regards,
Hustone

The design tools for the i.MX6 SABRE SD board were OrCAD and Allegro, so, only these .dsn and .brd files are available on our side.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way of converting .brd to .pcb files. Seems that you should have both Allegro and PADS tools installed to make the conversion. For more information, please refer to attached file.
Have a great day,
Artur

Dear Artur,
Thanks a lot.
Could the online design review accept the pads .sch and .pcb files on the i.MX6Dual platform? If not, we will give up the efforts to convert. Migrating to cadence seems some difficulty for us, but we have no more choice because we need your review to help.
Regards,
Hustone

Hello Hustone,
For pads.sch, we can only help you review schematic with pdf format, we can't review PCB design, because we only use Cadence orCAD, and don't use PADs.
