PSD 15.1 Concept HDL + Allegro: Problem with libraries

[Dirk Krause]

Hello,
our faculty switched from Mentor to Cadence PSD 15.1.
For my first steps with Concept HDL and Allegro I drawed a simple
flip-flop using 7400 gates from the 7400 library.
When attempting "File/Export Physical" netrev produces the following
error:
#1 ERROR(302) Device library error detected.
Problems with device '7400'. JEDEC_TYPE property
'DIP.100/14/W.300/L.800' is illegal: 'Package name is not legal.'.
Device '7400' has library errors. Unable to transfer to Allegro.
After reading three manuals (1400 pages in summary) I found out the
JEDEC_TYPE entry in the chips\chips.prt file should contain the name
of a part/package symbol (i.e. 'dip14_3').

For the analog library the problem is similar. The R and C symbols have
JEDEC_TYPE entries 'RC05' and 'CK05' but there is no rc05.dra or ck05.dra
in ...\psd_15.1\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols. So I had to change the
JEDEC_TYPE to 'res400' and 'capck05'.

Do I have to edit several thousands of chips.prt files manually or is there
an easier way to make the libraries usable?

Thanks

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

I think you can write a simple script to remove the value of
"JEDEC_TYPE" frome the chips.prt files.

Important: If the "JEDEC_Type" property is one of the key properties,
move it to the injected side before you set it's value to blank.

Regards,
Michael
