CADENCE SPB RELEASE 16.6 README for 
System-in-Package (SiP) and Allegro Package Designer Products 
This document provides detailed information for the System-in-Package (SiP) and Allegro Package Designer 
(APD) products. Refer to the Cadence SPB Release 16.6 Readme for general release information. 
 
SiP/Allegro Package Designer Product Compatibility Information  
 
The System-in-Package (SiP), Allegro Package Designer (APD) and Cadence 3D Design Viewer products are 
installed from the Cadence SPB/OrCAD 16.6 Install DVD. The Cadence IO Planner product, used for 
concurrent co-design, is based on Encounter Digital Implementation (EDI) Systems technology and installed 
from the EDI Systems CD ROM image. Both the Cadence SPB/OrCAD 16.6 Install DVD and the EDI Systems 
CD ROM images contain versions of the OpenAccess (OA) software. 
 
Virtuoso SiP Architect XL provides an integrated flow with the Virtuoso Floorplan, Layout, and Simulation 
environment. Virtuoso products are installed from the Virtuoso (IC) CD ROM image. 
 
For SPB 16.6, the compatibility of Cadence SiP and APD products with OA, EDI Systems, and Virtuoso is described 
below.

NOTES:  
(1) SiP/Packaging products are not supported on these platforms: Solaris 10 x86, Linux SLES 10, Vista Home Basic. 
(2) Spectre Circuit Simulator is not supported on Windows platforms. 
(3) Cadence IO Planner is not supported on Windows or AIX platforms. 
(4) There may be additional platform limitations depending on the version of Virtuoso that you are running. Refer to Cadence Online Support for 
Virtuoso Computing Platforms. 
(5) Allegro Package SI L (PA7625), Cadence SiP Digital SI XL (SIP215), and Cadence SiP Digital Architect GXL (SIP125) all require a third-party 
product (PakSi-E) acquired from Apache Design Solutions. Please check http://www.apache-da.com/ for platform information. 
 
SiP/Cadence IO Planner/OA Installation and Setup 
 
For SiP concurrent co-design, SiP Layout, Cadence IO Planner, and OA software must be installed.  
 
The SiP products are installed from the Cadence SPB/OrCAD 16.6 Install DVD. The Cadence IO Planner is part of 
EDI Systems technology and installed from the EDI Systems CD ROM image. For Cadence IO Planner, install 
either the Encounter Digital Implementation Systems L (EDS100) or Encounter Digital Implementation Systems XL 
(EDS200) product. 
 
OpenAccess (OA) software is available on both the SPB and EDI Systems CD ROM images.  
OpenAccess version OA22.43-p006 is installed under /oa_v22.43.p006 when you install any of 
the following SPB 16.6 products/options: 
 
• SIP125 Cadence SiP Digital Architect GXL 
• SIP625 Cadence Chip Integration Option 
• SIP225 Cadence SiP Layout XL 
 
Refer to the OpenAccess Configuration Guide included in the Cadence product documentation for information that 
will help you successfully complete the OA installation. This document also describes the additional setup required 
to run the OA utilities standalone.  
 
To configure the latest version of OA:  
 
1. Install the EDI Systems software.  
(Be sure you install it in a different hierarchy than any other version you have on your system.)  
2. Install the SPB software.  
 
NOTE: The order in which you install the EDI Systems or SPB software does not matter.  
 
3. Before running the Cadence IO Planner, set the following:  
 
setenv ENCOUNTER   
setenv PATH ${ENCOUNTER}/bin:${PATH}  
encounter -version  
echo "OA Version is" oaGetVersion  
 
SPB and EDI Systems software may contain different embedded builds of OA. You can see different versions 
listed by oaGetVersion depending on the order in which you have the SPB and EDI Systems bin directories 
listed in your PATH environment variable. SiP Layout and Cadence I/O Planner will each use its own 
embedded build of OA and will be able to read/write data when working together in the IC/ Package co-design 
flow (as they are both based on OA Data Model 4). 
 
Note: If you use custom batch files or scripts to set up the SPB environment, add the following to the path. Some Allegro products 
may not launch without this setting. 
%CDSROOT%\OpenAccess\bin\win32\opt

Symbol Library and Padstacks 
 
All library symbols created with previous releases of Allegro Package Designer (APD) and SiP are compatible with 
this release. Before loading the generic library, be sure that customized component symbols are not in the same 
directory in which you load the release.  
 
The library is overwritten when you load the generic library. The CAE libraries will not be affected. Before using 
any of the library symbols, carefully review them to ensure that they meet your physical design criteria.
