Starting a Project: 2-3
•sym
—for symbols needed for your schematics
•wir
—for wire files
Note:
For some groups, the following directory structure is used:
/hw/slf/
project
/01
,
02
, etc.,
containing directories for defines, schematics, PALs, models, stubs, and monitors. Within
schematics
, there may be additional hierarchy depending on the structural blocking of the project.
Finally, if you are going to generate a part number list from schematics, you need
to run the command:
module add viewlogic
This command sets up your UNIX path so that Viewlogic’s Part Lister utility can
be run when you generate a BOM. This utility extracts part numbers from the
schematic.
Creating a New Project
Most new projects are created by project managers. Once the project is created for
you and you receive a project number, you can create the initial BOM for it.
To create a new project:
1.
Collect a list of people to receive PCN and project email.
2.
Contact an EDA engineering support coordinator to add the project to
the database used by the Part Manager utility and the PCN process.
Note:
See Appendix B for behind-the-scenes information on how EDA starts the project for you.
This will help you understand why your project is not available immediately.
3.
Run /bayeast/dra/utils/partmgr or /baywest/dra/utils/bnw_partmgr to
pull a PCB number and associated parts.
Note:
See Chapter 3 for instructions on running
partmgr
, and Chapters 4 and 5 for information on
the primary parts associated with each PCB.
This step creates a set of parts that you will later combine to generate the
initial BOM.
4.
Continue using
partmgr
as needed to obtain new part numbers.
5.
Run
bn_bomprocess
until you’re satisfied that it is creating the correct
files. See Chapter 5.
