Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Is there anyone who can tell me the major steps and "cn" functions to generate a complete BOM report using the Allegro Design Entry HDL SKILL for a given schematic design?

Thanks.

pjli,

Response from Cadence engineering:
Creating a BOM from SKILL is touchy since the script then needs to do the work of packager-XK before running BOM.

Much better to use Caeviews ( and all details are in the Caeviews user guide )

Moderator,

Thanks for your help. I just tested an indirect way to generate a BOM by using command "bomhdl" in the -nographic option. Basically, I created a BOM template file separately to define the properties to be report first. Then invoke the command bomhdl with required parameters such as project name, template file name, and output file name. After being created, the output file is read back and parsed to generate a new BOM file with the desired format. The invocation, reading, and parsing can be done by SKILL programs. It seems working fine. I believe that CAE Views HDL programming will be more powerful, flexible, and having performance. I will possibly look into it if my tested approach cannot meet requirements.

Thanks.
