Allegro EDM Design Entry HDL Front-to-Back Flow

Length: 3 days

Course Description

In this course, you create board-level schematic designs with Design Entry HDL from within the Allegro® EDM environment. You explore the integration between Design Entry HDL and other tools in the design flow, including the Allegro PCB Editor. You follow the design flow by creating a schematic and taking it all the way through board layout.

Although board layout is introduced as part of the front-to-back flow, this is not a board layout course. Also, schematic or footprint library development is not included in this course. See the Related Courses below.
