Schematic Input with OrCad and Simultation
with Mentor Hyperlynx Tools

This technical note describes OrCad features for
drawing schematics and Mentor Hyperlynx Line Sim
and Board Sim tools for simulation of critical nets and
buses.

OrCad Projects

OrCad saves a set of drawings as a “project.”
Two project types are available:
• Basic digital schematics
• Schematics with analog and digital parts.

Project libraries are maintained by OrCad which
contain a copy of cached part models from the parts
database or library.

Each part has a list of attributes that can be edited,
including the part reference designators, values,
package types, and manufacturer.

OrCad can generate a BOM and also provides input to
OrCad layout tools.

OrCad Project Schematic Drawing Example

OrCad allows one to place parts on schematic pages
using a database library. The library can be extended
by drawing your own parts and adding them to the
database or buy purchasing on-line access to an
extensive database of parts for a wide variety of
applications.

The drawing below is an 80251 schematic in progress.
(The page shown is in progress; some additional
connections are required to connect chip enables,
port mode selection, and external timers and
interrupt pins.)

The 80251 has 4 optional ports. Using internal ROM,
all four ports can be enabled for external access to
other parts in the application.

External ROM, RAM, and I/O parts can also be
addressed. Chip enables allow the designer to access
individual external parts conveniently.

Timer outputs T0-T2 permit the user to output strobe
signals with pre-programmed timing. The 802551 also
has programmable interrupts when the timers expire.
Timers can be programmed to re-initialize and
continue. Interrupts can occur repetitively or upon a
single timer count down.

A synchronous WAIT input halts the processors
transactions.

The 80251 also has two Interrupt inputs that permit
the microcontroller to serve external functions on
demand.

Using the extended addressing capability of this 80251
microcontroller, A0-A17 are available. This permits
addressing of up to 256KB of address space.

HyperLynx Pre- and Post-Layout Simulation
of Schematics

In some cases, schematic pages contain high speed
transmission lines. (The circuit above does not contain
high speed components.)

Before layout, Mentor Hyperlynx Line Sim can be used
to stimulate and measure the characteristics of high
speed signals, including ringing, crosstalk, and other
characteristics.

Mentor Hyperlynx Board Sim is a post layout tool
which takes into account the actual routing netlist and
board geometry prepared by Mentor layout tools for
PADS schematics or OrCad family layout tools
(Allegro).

Hyperlynx uses models available directly from
manufacturers (IBIS) or user constructed table based
models, among the numerous model types supported.

Hyperlynx wizards are available to quickly map net list
sections to key components to be simulated in board
sim. An example is the Hyperlynx DDR3 Wizard, which
helps users measure performance of DDR3 memories
which can use clock rates in the gigahertz range.

Design Verification in the Lab

Design verification should be conducted on the bench
to compare hyperlynx board sim results with actual
prototype signal characteristics measured using
storage scopes for measuring buses, eyes on critical
signals, and transmission line characteristics.

The Freescale PowerQuicII Pro 8313 RDB
Board with Linux and Codewarrior IDE

This tech note page describes the Motorola 8313 RDB
board with Linux RTOS in flash.
It describes the board features, how to use UBOOT to
launch Linux, and how to download and execute
software written using the Codewarrior IDE.
Motorola describes the 8313 processor as follows:
“The MPC8313E communications processor family
meets the requirements of several small office/home
office (SOHO), printing, IP services and industrial
control applications.”

Freescale 8313 RDB Board with 8313 processor

An Example 8313 Application: Printer CPU

The 8313 can be used as a network or USB printer
CPU. User data to be printed can be manipulated in
RAM, and printer imaging controls can be accessed via
a local bus interface to an ASIC or FPGA with interface
logic.

A simple text LCD can be controlled via the GPIO
interface.
An external Ethernet PHY module can be used to
interface the printer to a network, if required. One of
the built-in USB interfaces can be used to wake up the
printer upon activity.

The Freescale 8313 PowerPC

The 8313 RDB contains a PowerQuicII core. An 8313
block diagram is reproduced below.

MPC8313E Block Diagram

(reproduced from FS website)

The e300 core has an L1 16K instruction cache and a
separate L1 16K data cache.
The e300 Core power is approximately 1.2W. Standby
power is less than 300mW.
PowerQuicII pro devices such as the 8313E include a
security feature module.
The processor can boot from NOR or NAND devices and
includes one SPI interface and two I2C interfaces.
The IC circuits include 4 DMA controllers that support I/O,
and a built-in programmable interrupt controller.

Codewarrior for 8313 RDB

The Codewarrior RDB includes a project creation
wizard that allows one to automatically include
libraries with drivers for devices on the 8313RDB.
Users can select C or C++ code.

Freescale provides source code modules that can be
edited for re-use, including main.cpp, interrupt.c, and
sc_handler.c (a system call handler).

After the user selects “make,” the “run” command
accesses the Freescale USB tap development interface
to download and begin execution of user code.

‘
UBOOT and the Freescale Linux Board
Support Package

UBOOT permits users to download files.

UBOOT is loaded into the RDB DDR memory then
flashed into the RDB flash memory using commands
described in Freescale application note AN3947.
UBOOT is configured for NFS deployment in the
process, which allows networking commands to be
used for the download process.

Steps to prepare the Freescale Linux BSP (Board
Support Package) include:
• Download the appropriate BSP
• Build the kernel
• Modify the device tree files for the board rev.
• Place kernel and device tree in a directory for
downloading later.

Additional steps before downloading the Linux kernel
include using the setenv command to configure the
host.

Compiling and downloading 8313 RDB
Software

After the Linux kernel is appropriately installed, users
can compile C or C++ code using Codewarrior and
appropirate RDB interface drivers, make the package,
and then use the “run” command to download it to
the RDB. The console makes use of a serial port for
user input and feedback during program operation.

QMS TOOLS

In product development and test methodologies,
documentation is hierarchical:
• Requirements
• Specifications
• Test Plans

Automated tools permit businesses to manage
release contents for multiple products, assigning
software component versions and also re-usable
tests to cover the requirements for multiple
products, and to assess the risks and issues
(defects) in product releases.

Using enterprise level tools, business planners
can schedule development and testing of
multiple projects more effectively by taking into
account the status, defects, and tests needed for
each product to plan and accomplish order
(sales delivery) goals effectively.

HP Quality Center

HP Quality Center features include means to:
• manage project requirements and their
changes
• track software development progress
• Assess risk
• Plan software release contents

HP Quality Center capabilities are analogous to
Borland Project Lifecycle Management tools.

HP Quality center can be used across distributed
organizations. HP Quality Center supports:
• Centralized release management and
version numbering of large software
products across the organization.
• Ability to assign versions of software
components created in different groups to
the builds for specific products.
• Ability to assign versions of tests for
software components to specific product
releases, re-using existing tests and test
scripts.

• Ability to re-use tests and test scripts for
different products.
• Ability to keep track of bugs and defects for
each product in a centralized database,
based upon its specific software component
versions and test script test status/results.
• Risk assessment is possible for a given
product release using this information.

All software components have their own version
numbers. Tests and Test scripts are assigned
their own release and version numbers also.

Tracking and Reporting Capabilities
Using linked information and database analysis,
HP Quality Center provides the ability to assess:
• Requirements coverage by units and
modules the product comprises. Defects
affecting requirements are visible.
• Reporting capabilities provide ways to share
info
• Large QA efforts can make use of these
tools across a network for collaboration to
succeed.

• Workflows through the lifecycle provide
standardized repeatable methods.

By including tools supporting each portion of the
product lifecycle, consistent, repeatable QA can
be performed on software successfully.

As with all development methodology tools, the
ability to find defects more easily before
production is a strong advantage.

HP Quality Center components

• The Quality Center Foundation – basic
platform for workflow rules. Can be
configured for your business
environment.

• HP TestDirector (was in v9; now part of
V10 without using this name)– Used to
manage requirements, plan and
schedule tests (assigning test assets to
requirements), reporting results, and
reporting on defects and issues to
facilitate planning and risk assessment.

• Functional Test components – permit
advanced automated functional
testing and regression testing. A
special module supports enterprise IT
applications.

• HP Business Process Testing software –
allows business analysts and other
planners to analyze business use cases
of software products and the process
flows involved with creating multiple
products (with insight into scheduling
based upon status of all tests and
components). This permits scheduling
of test development to proceed in a
manner which facilitates success
across the product line and software
release roll-out for multiple products
(thanks to a single large QC repository
of info available).
• Using HP Quality Center, one can
identify and schedule tests needed to
address the impact of changes, so

application quality is increased and risk
is minimized.

Enterprise Management Software
Development Support
 HP Quality Center can make use of SAP
and SOA extensions to support SAP,
SOA, and Oracle® quality
management.
 As with all software developed using
HP Quality Center, one can identify
and schedule tests needed to address
the impact of changes, so application
quality is increased and risk is
minimized.

 HP Service Test components – An
advanced quality management
package, covering SOA test
management, requirements, defects
tracking, functional testing, regression
testing and business process design
validation.

TELEOGIC DOORS Requirements
Management System

Teleogic Doors uses a database with linked,
numbered sections for each product
development milestone document; e.g. Market
requirements, Engineering system requirements,
hardware and software unit specifications, and
test plan test cases. Each are numbered and
linked together.

With doors, one can verify that a test case
covers or “traces” back to each requirement or
specification above.

One can also verify which section of
specifications documents cover product system
level requirements.

(the name “Doors” refers to the ability to jump
or link between project hierarchical documents).
This tool was introduced in the late 1990’s. It is
best for product development and checking
traceability of hierarchical documents.

Software Modification and Change Control
Tracking Tools (Example: Siebel)

Tools in this category assist system developers
by keeping track of software change requests
and their status. Siebel is an example of a basic
MR tracking tools. Siebel allows users to
conveniently enter MR’s, assign priorities, and
owners.

A project team member is assigned as MR
change control administrator/tracker.
MR’s pass through a series of steps that are user
definable, and may include:

Open (by originator)
• UI (owner)
• Fixed (new owner is tester)
• Verified (owner
• Closed (MR admin)

Other MR assignments might include:
• Defer

In the case of defer, the project team leadership
decides which release to phase changes into.

Useful information catalogued with entries in
software change control databases include:
• Description of problem
• How to reproduce problem
• Area impacted (as specific as possible; a
software module)
• Severity (critical, high, medium, low; or 1-4)
– Critical changes require prompt
investigation.
• Impact of problem: who is affected where
• Customer who reported problem and notes
about their needs.

Siebel and other MR tracking tools allow users to
print reports sorted by severity, status (open, UI,
etc), and other fields.

As change control tracking on PBX and large
ATM switch projects at Bell Labs and ViaGate
Technologies, I used tools to track MR status and
priorities. As senior systems engineer in the
software development group at ViaGate, I was
responsible for planning software release

contents for a period of time early in the initial
product shipment timeframe. This involved
working with engineers, marketing and
engineering management closely to evaluate
status and make decisions about release
contents for our ATM switch.
The ViaGate switch used 12 unix multiprocessing
boards, and provided internet, video (CATV
lineup), and VLAN access to up to 240
subscribers using set top boxes and VDSL
modems. The switch was designed for use in
basements, and connected to the telco by Sonet
fibers.

BORLAND TOOLS - CaliberRM

Borland makes leading Windows software
compiler IDE tools in competition with
Microsoft.

Borland has entered the market with software
lifecycle management tools.

Tools include these aspects of development:
• Requirements definition and management
• Testing, software release planning, and risk
assesment

Borland’s testing and ASQ tools help automate
planning/tracking in these areas:
• Requirements based testing
• Software Test Management (planning,
documentation of test processes)
• Software Development Metrics – to assist
managers
• Test Automation – tools to help automate
developer (unit), functional (system and
integration testing), and performance
testing (product quality/verification). This is
accomplished by tools that support each
step in the workflow.

(from Borland site)

CaliberRM

During the fall of 2003, I attended a training and
info seminar on Borland compilers and software
development project tools. These tools assist
requirements traceability, change tracking,
release planning, and risk assessment. Borland
has attempted to provide tools for each
essential workflow step, allowing project
managers to track status of large projects in an
organization.

The CaliberRM tools is used for requirements
management, and provides network based
means to collaborate between users on large
projects. CaliberRM allows users to enter
detailed info about unit modules and their
development status.

Borland also HP Quality Center components (The
“Quality Center Foundation, “ HP TestDirector
for HP Quality Center, and Extensions for SAP
and SOA)
