 Hi all,

 I am the lead electrical engineer for a small company based in New York 
 State. We have been using both the Beaglebone Green and Beaglebone Black 
 internally for hardware development purposes for the past couple of months 
 for an upcoming product. We are early in the process of transitioning to a 
 production-grade single board hardware design for said product.

 I am looking for CAD files for the Beaglebone Green to use as a 
 starting point in the board design process. Can anyone here point me 
 towards for provide me with Altium Designer files for the BeagleBone 
 Green? 
 We do not use Cadence Allegro to design our boards, and have no way of 
 converting the available OrCAD/Allegro CAD files to an Altium Designer 
 compatible format. 

 I would much rather not have to redesign a complicated & nontrivial 
 board layout for an open-source hardware product such as this, especially 
 given that the open-source nature of BeagleBone was the most motivating 
 factor in choosing as a development and prototyping tool. 

 Note that we are not modifying any part of the BeagleBone Green's 
 design (except removing the 2X23 female headers and grove sockets). We are 
 using it as a base and adding additional functionality via peripheral 
 components that are integrated on the same board. 

 Thank you for any help that you can provide. 

 I look forward to hearing back,
 James

Oh, OK. I picked up BeagleBone Black in the thread.

I am sure Seeed will provide the needed information with the file already
converted and cleaned up in Altium.

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Green CAD Files (Altium Designer)

[Gerald Coley]

It has already been done, minus a couple of small changes. I suggest you
start with what has already been done and cleaned up. A basic ASCII
conversion has a lot of things that require clean up.

Hi James,

You have two options here. Ask Gerald to provide the ascii version of the PCB 
or contact your local Allegro or Altium user group and ask someone to do the 
conversion for you.

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Green CAD Files (Altium Designer)

[jamess]

Hi John,

Thank you for the advice on the conversion process. 

I created this post after attempting to convert the .brd file available on 
the official BeagleBoard wiki using Altium, Ltd's instructions on how to do 
so (see here 
,
 
I am using AD16). Converting to ASCII (.alg) is not possible because I do 
not have Cadence Allegro (the Altium, Ltd-supplied batch file appears to 
use Allegro to open "file.brd", and then save it as "file.alg"). 
BeagleBoard does not seem to supply the design files in this format. I have 
yet to find the files in ASCII format at this point.

-James

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Green CAD Files (Altium Designer)

[John Syne]

Converting Orcad/Allegro files to Altium is pretty easy if you can get the 
Allegro files in ascii format. There are several issues you have to clean up, 
especially the copper pour areas which I advise to delete and just recreate 
these areas. Some of the components included some artifacts which need fixing. 
The universal database that links Schematic and PCB layout will have some 
inconsistencies and these need to be resolved. 

I converted the original BBB files which took me a few days to complete. My 
advise is generate Gerber files after the final conversion and compare those to 
the original Gerber files to ensure you haven’t made any mistakes in the 
conversion. 

Regards,
John
