Creating symbols manually for application can be a time consuming task
and is error prone. Cadence OrCAD Capture is a popular schematic design
entry tool for system-level design.
This section describes the recommended procedure to create schematic symbols. The schematic
symbols can be created using two methods:
- Using the Microchip published pin
assignment tables (PAT) in spreadsheet format. Pin Information is imported into OrCAD
Capture CIS tool. This is a two step process as explained in Creating Schematic Symbols using Pin Assignment Tables (PAT). Use this method for creating schematic symbols using
Microchip defined pins.
- Using the data export feature of Libero SoC software. Pin
information can be exported to a spreadsheet and then use OrCAD Design
Capture CIS tool to create symbols. This is a three step process as
explained in Creating Schematic Symbols with User Defined Pin Names. Use this method
for creating symbols using user defined pins for the fabric I/Os.
