Good morning,
I dug up an old project from 2005 and I should open the schematic to check some things.
This is the schematic of a XILINX XC95108-pq160 CPLD which the XILINX ISE 6.1 software then translated and compiled, to generate a JEDEC file to burn CPLD.

My problem is that I can't open schematics with the versions of Orcad Schematic Entry that I have.
Can anyone help me understand which version of Orcad Schematic Entry I need to install to see these files?

I shared the files on:

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the importance of robust and efficient interconnect standards cannot be overstated. Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) has been a cornerstone in high-speed data transfer, enabling seamless communication between various hardware components.   

With the advent of PCIe 6.1 ECN, a significant advancement in speed and efficiency, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of its operations is paramount. One critical aspect of this is the verification of shared credit updates. For detailed understanding on Shared Credit, please refer Understanding PCIe 6.0 Shared Flow Control. 

In this blog, we will discuss why this verification is essential and what it entails.  

Introduction 

PCIe 6.1 ECN brings numerous advancements over earlier versions, such as increased bandwidth and faster data transfer speeds.   

A crucial mechanism for efficient data transmission in PCIe 6.0 is the credit-based flow control system. In this system, devices monitor credits, representing the buffer capacity available for incoming data.   

When a device transmits data, it uses credits, which are replenished or adjusted once the data is received and processed. This system ensures that the sender does not overload the receiver.  

Given the critical role of shared credit updates in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of data transfers, verification of these updates is crucial.  Proper management of credit updates is essential to ensure data integrity, as any discrepancies can lead to data loss, corruption, or system crashes.   

Verification also guarantees efficient resource allocation, preventing scenarios where some components are starved of credit while others have an excess, thus avoiding inefficiencies.  Credit inefficiencies pose issues in low power negotiations by preventing devices from entering low power states. Additionally, verification involves checking for proper error handling mechanisms, ensuring that the system can recover gracefully from errors in credit updates and maintain overall stability.   

PCIe 6.1 ECN Flow Control Optimizations Over PCIe 6.0

PCIe 6.1 ECN builds on the FLIT-based architecture introduced in PCIe 6.0, further optimizing flow control mechanisms to handle increased data rates and improved efficiency.  PCIe 6.1 ECN introduced refinements in credit management, making the allocation and advertisement of credits more precise, which helps in reducing bottlenecks and improving data flow efficiency.  Enhancements in flow control protocols ensure better management of buffer spaces and more efficient credit allocation. These enhancements are designed to handle the increased data rates and throughput demands of next-generation applications, ensuring robust and efficient data flow across PCIe devices.  

Below are some major updates: 

1. There have been improvements in error detection and correction mechanisms in PCIe 6.1 ECN to enhance flow control reliability by ensuring that corrupted data packets are detected and handled appropriately without disrupting the flow of valid packets.  
2. The merged credit system, which was a key feature introduced int PCIe 6.0 to simplify and optimize credit management, was further enhanced in PCIe 6.1 ECN to improve performance and efficiency.  
3. PCIe 6.1 ECN introduced better algorithms for allocating and reclaiming merged credits to handle high data rates, introduced more robust error detection and correction mechanism reducing the degradation or system instability. 
4. PCIe 6.1 ECN provided clear guidelines on how to implement the merged credit system correctly, helping developers to implement more reliable systems. For more details, please refer to Specifications section 2.6.1 Flow Control (FC) Rules.

Summary 

In summary, PCIe 6.0 is a complex protocol with many verification challenges. You must understand many new Spec changes and think about the robust verification plan for the new features and backward compatible tests impacted by new features. Cadence’s PCIe 6.0 Verification IP is fully compliant with the latest PCIe Express 6.0 specifications and provides an effective and efficient way to verify the components interfacing with the PCIe 6.0 interface. Cadence VIP for PCIe 6.0 provides exhaustive verification of PCIe-based IP and SoCs, and we are working with early adopter customers to speed up every verification stage.

Verisium Debug, the Cadence unified debug platform, offers a variety of debugging capabilities, including RTL debug, UVM testbench debug, UPF debug, and DMS debug. From IP to SoC level debug, the user can take the benefits of the rich debugging features to reduce the time for debug.

Not only the common and advanced debug features, Verisium Debug also provides Python-based interface API, which enables capabilities allowing users to customize functions with Verisium Debug Python API to access from design, waveform databases and add functions to Verisium Debug’s GUI for visualization purposes. With Verisium Debug’s Python API, users can turn repetitive works into automatic programs or reduce efforts to create in-house utilities with well-established infrastructure from Verisium Debug.

Here is an example of how the user uses Python API to create a customized function. Users can write a Python program to extract signals in a specific design scope and report the values of the extracted signals. From Fig 1., you can understand the procedure of the traversal steps.

1. Import Python library in Verisium Debug package.
2. Setup the database for traversal.
3. Search the scope with the hierarchy information in the design DB.
4. Query the signal list and the values of the signals.
5. Print out the results.

Fig 1. Procedure of Verisium Debug Python Program

The result from the Verisium Debug Python App can be used for post-process design checking or fed into other utilities in the design flow.

The concept is very straightforward. With Verisium Debug and the Python API environment enabled, you can easily query any information that is stored in the databases of Verisium Debug. The result can be outputted in text format, or you can also use the API to display the results back to Verisium Debug’s GUI.

The Verisium Debug Python API is an important capability and resource for Verisium Debug users. To make Verisium Debug Python API easier to access, from Verisium Debug 24.10 release, Verisium Debug introduced the new Verisium Debug Python App Store.
