Running Allegro PCB SKILL code in Virtuoso

Curtisma

Hello:

I would like to run some SKILL code that was developed for Allegro PCB Designer (APD) in Virtuoso.  Is this possible?  I would guess that I would need to be add the API to virtuoso since the functions would not be available.  Is it possible to find the source of the Allegro PCB SKILL API code and load that in virtuoso?  

My end goal is to create an Allegro PCB symbol in Cadence for an IC layout in Virtuoso.

Regards,

Curtis

    Hi Curtis,

    This is not possible. The Allegro APIs do not exist in Virtuoso and can't be added since they depend on the underlying Allegro architecture.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew!  Good to know, that was my guess but I thought I would check.

    So is there a Linux version of Allegro?  Maybe I can just call it from Virtuoso.  Can I start running Allegro with a script and without the gui?

    Hi Curtis,

    Yes, there is a Linux version of Allegro available (on downloads.cadence.com - look at the SPB release stream)
