[0052] Combination Figure 2 The present application also provides a method for generating a circuit diagram of a board card that can be applied to the above electronic device. The method steps defined in the process related to the circuit diagram generation method of the board card can be implemented by the electronic device. Figure 2 The specific process shown is explained in detail.

[0053] Step S110 , in response to a circuit module selection operation performed by a target user, a plurality of target circuit modules are determined from a circuit module database.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can determine multiple target circuit modules from a circuit module database in response to a circuit module selection operation performed by a target user. The circuit module database has multiple pre-built circuit modules (also referred to as CBB modules), and each of the circuit modules has at least a circuit schematic diagram of a corresponding circuit structure and port attribute information of an external connection port. It should be noted that the external connection port can also be referred to as a pin. In other words, the target user can select multiple required circuit modules from the multiple circuit modules included in the circuit module database as corresponding target circuit modules.

[0055] Step S120, in response to the module expansion operation performed by the target user, and / or in response to the result of the module function analysis of the multiple target circuit modules reflecting the need for module expansion operation, determining at least one expansion circuit module from the circuit module database.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can determine at least one expansion circuit module from the circuit module database in response to the module expansion operation performed by the target user, and / or in response to the result of the module function analysis of the multiple target circuit modules reflecting the need to perform the module expansion operation. That is to say, after obtaining the multiple target circuit modules, the module expansion can be performed based on the operation of the target user, or the module functions of the multiple target circuit modules can be analyzed to achieve the corresponding expansion. Based on this, by expanding the circuit module, the function of the constructed target board circuit schematic diagram can be reliably realized.

[0057] Step S130, in response to the port connection operation performed by the target user, and / or in response to the matching relationship between the port attribute information of the external connection ports corresponding to the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module, the external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module are connected to form a corresponding target board circuit schematic.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can respond to the port connection operation performed by the target user, and / or respond to the matching relationship between the port attribute information of the external connection ports corresponding to the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module, and connect the multiple target circuit modules and the external connection ports of the at least one expansion circuit module to form a corresponding target board circuit schematic diagram. That is, after determining the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module, the ports can be connected based on the selection of the target user or based on the matching relationship between the port attribute information, so that a complete circuit schematic diagram can be formed.

[0059] Based on the above content, on the first hand, since the target circuit module can be determined directly from the circuit module database, the efficiency can be fully improved compared to the conventional technical solution that requires drawing the circuit schematic diagram of the circuit module and marking the pins; on the second hand, module expansion operations and connection operations to external connection ports can also be performed, so that the efficiency can be further improved. Therefore, the problem of relatively low efficiency in generating board circuit schematic diagrams in the prior art can be improved.

[0060] It should be noted that in order to ensure the efficiency of generating the board circuit schematic, in the above-mentioned step S120, at least one extended circuit module is automatically expanded based on the results of module function analysis, and / or, in the above-mentioned step S130, at least two external connection ports are automatically connected based on the matching relationship between the port attribute information.

[0061] In the first aspect, it should be noted that, in order to ensure that multiple target circuit modules can be effectively determined when executing step S110, before executing the above step S110, the board circuit schematic diagram generating method may further include the following contents:

[0062] In response to the circuit module building operation of the target user or other users, the following steps may be performed to form the circuit module database:

[0063] First, a module schematic file of any circuit module can be obtained and saved, so that the module schematic file is included in the circuit module database;

[0064] Secondly, basic information of any circuit module can be acquired and saved so that the circuit module database has the basic information, wherein the basic information includes at least one of module name information, module description information, module type information, module status information and module size information of the circuit module;

[0065] Then, the relevant file information of any circuit module can be obtained and saved, so that the circuit module database has the relevant file information, wherein the relevant file information includes at least one of file name information, file type information, file acquisition time information, file storage path information, and information representing the file confidentiality level;

[0066] Further, the external connection port information of any circuit module can be obtained and saved, so that the circuit module database has the external connection port information, wherein the external connection port information includes at least one of port name information, port type information, port coordinate information, port description information, and information of the circuit module to which it belongs;

[0067] Finally, the external connection port attribute information of any circuit module can be obtained and saved, so that the circuit module database has the external connection port attribute information, wherein the external connection port attribute information includes at least one of voltage information, current information, ripple information, power supply type information, frequency information, and jitter information.

[0068] Specifically, in one application scenario, the target user or other users can first create a new CBB module based on their own needs and fill in the corresponding basic information. Then, the file including the basic information of the circuit schematic of the CBB module can be transferred to the database corresponding to the above-mentioned electronic device for storage, and the port attribute information of the external connection port of the CBB module can also be configured.

[0069] Secondly, it should be noted that for step S120, the specific method of performing the module expansion operation is not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0070] For example, in an alternative implementation, in order to ensure the reliability of the module expansion operation so that the formed target board circuit schematic has a complete and reliable circuit structure, the above-mentioned step S120 may further include S121 and / or step S122, and the contents of each step are described as follows.

[0071] Step S121, in response to the module expansion operation performed by the target user, determining at least one expansion circuit module from the circuit module database.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, in response to the module expansion operation performed by the target user, at least one expansion circuit module can be determined from the circuit module database. That is, the target user can select the corresponding expansion circuit module based on demand. Specifically, the circuit module can be expanded according to actual functional requirements. For example, the circuit module can be expanded based on the requirements of providing power and / or providing a clock signal, so that the determined expansion circuit module can provide power and / or provide a clock signal.

[0073] Step S122: in response to the result of performing module function analysis on the plurality of target circuit modules indicating that a module expansion operation is required, determining at least one expansion circuit module from the circuit module database.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, on the other hand, in response to the result of performing module function analysis on the multiple target circuit modules reflecting the need for module expansion operation, at least one expansion circuit module can be determined from the circuit module database. Wherein, the at least one expansion circuit module includes a power circuit module and / or a clock circuit module for providing electrical energy and / or providing a clock signal, and the at least one expansion circuit module belongs to a circuit module other than the multiple target circuit modules in the circuit module database. In other words, by performing module function analysis, it is determined that electrical energy and / or clock signals need to be provided, and there is no circuit module in the multiple target circuit modules that can provide matching electrical energy and / or clock signals, and then expansion can be performed automatically.

[0075] It is understandable that, in the above step S122, in response to the result of performing module function analysis on the multiple target circuit modules reflecting the need to perform module expansion operation, the specific manner is not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0076] For example, in an alternative implementation, in order to ensure the reliability of the module expansion operation so that the formed target board circuit schematic has higher reliability, the above-mentioned step S122 may further include step S122a and step S122b, and the specific contents of each step are described as follows.

[0077] Step S122a, performing module function analysis on the multiple target circuit modules to obtain corresponding function analysis results.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, module function analysis can be performed on the multiple target circuit modules to obtain corresponding function analysis results, wherein the function analysis results are used to reflect whether there is a function circuit module in the multiple target circuit modules, and the function circuit module refers to a circuit module that needs to be configured with power supply and / or clock.

[0079] Step S122b: when the functional analysis result shows that there is a functional circuit module in the plurality of target circuit modules, at least one extended circuit module is determined from the circuit module database.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, when the functional analysis result reflects that there is a functional circuit module in the multiple target circuit modules, at least one extended circuit module can be determined from the circuit module database to provide the required power and / or the required clock signal.

[0081] It can be understood that in the above-mentioned step S122b, in order to ensure the reliability of at least one expansion circuit module, that is, to ensure that reliable power and / or required clock signals can be provided to the corresponding functional circuit module, the above-mentioned step S122b can further include step b1 and step b2, and the specific contents of each step are described as follows.

[0082] Step b1, when the functional analysis result shows that there is a functional circuit module in the multiple target circuit modules, for each of the functional circuit modules, obtaining port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, when the functional analysis result reflects that there is a functional circuit module in the multiple target circuit modules, for each of the functional circuit modules, the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module can be obtained. Among them, the port attribute information includes at least one of voltage information, current information, ripple information, power supply type information, frequency information, and jitter information. For example, for a functional circuit module that needs to provide electric energy, the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module may include voltage information, ripple information, circuit information, and power supply type information (i.e., AC or DC), etc. In addition, for a functional circuit module that needs to provide a clock signal, the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module may include information such as level standard, frequency, common mode voltage, and jitter requirements.

[0084] Step b2: determining at least one expansion circuit module matching the functional circuit module from the circuit module database based on the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, at least one expansion circuit module matching the functional circuit module can be determined from the circuit module database based on the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module. For example, for a functional circuit module that needs to provide electric energy, a power circuit module that matches (such as is consistent with) the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module can be automatically screened out from the circuit module database. For a functional circuit module that needs to provide a clock signal, a clock circuit module that matches (such as is consistent with) the port attribute information of the external connection port of the functional circuit module can be automatically screened out from the circuit module database.

[0086] In a third aspect, it should be noted that for step S130, the specific manner of connecting the external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module is not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0087] For example, in an alternative implementation, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection operation of the external connection port, the above-mentioned step S130 may further include step S131 and / or step S132, step S133, and the specific content of each step is described as follows.

[0088] Step S131, in response to the port connection operation performed by the target user, connecting at least two external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module so that there is a connection line between the at least two external connection ports.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, in response to the port connection operation performed by the target user, at least two of the external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module are connected so that a connection line is provided between the at least two external connection ports. In the embodiment of the present application, the target user can manually connect the external connection ports, for example, external connection ports that are easy to identify can be manually connected.

[0090] Step S132, for any two external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module, obtain the port attribute information of the two external connection ports, and perform matching analysis on the port attribute information of the two external connection ports to obtain corresponding port attribute matching results.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, for any two external connection ports of the multiple target circuit modules and the at least one expansion circuit module, the port attribute information of the two external connection ports can be obtained, and the port attribute information of the two external connection ports can be matched and analyzed to obtain corresponding port attribute matching results. The port attribute information includes at least one of voltage information, current information, ripple information, power supply type information, frequency information, and jitter information, or may also include other information.

[0092] Step S133, connecting the two external connection ports that are matched by the corresponding port attribute matching result, so that there is a connection line between the two external connection ports, thereby forming a corresponding target board circuit schematic diagram.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding port attribute matching result can reflect the two matched external connection ports to be connected, so that there is a connection line between the two external connection ports, thereby forming a corresponding target board circuit schematic diagram, that is, automatic connection is achieved. For example, two external connection ports with consistent port attribute information can be connected together. For example, the port attribute information of external connection port 1 is voltage 3.3V, speed 800M, polarity P, and the port attribute information of external connection port 2 is also voltage 3.3V, speed 800M, polarity P, indicating that the external connection port 1 and the external connection port 2 have consistent port attribute information, and therefore, they can be connected together.

[0094] It can be understood that in the above step S133, in order to form a reliable target board circuit schematic diagram for subsequent specific applications, the above step S133 can further include step S133a and step S133b, and the specific content of each step is described as follows.

[0095] Step S133a: Connect the two external connection ports that are matched by the corresponding port attribute matching result, so that a connection line is formed between the two external connection ports.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding port attribute matching result may reflect that two matched external connection ports are connected so that a connection line is provided between the two external connection ports.

[0097] Step S133b, after the connection operation between the external connection ports is completed, the target board circuit schematic including the multiple target circuit modules, the at least one expansion circuit module and the connection lines is compressed and exported to form a corresponding circuit schematic compression package.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, after the connection operation between the external connection ports is completed, the target board circuit schematic including the multiple target circuit modules, the at least one expansion circuit module and the connection line can be compressed and exported to form a corresponding circuit schematic compression package. The circuit schematic compression package includes a target language script and schematic data corresponding to the target board circuit schematic, and when the target language script is run, the schematic data is read, and the target board circuit schematic is generated based on the schematic data. For example, when all CBB modules are connected to form a board, a compressed package of a TCL language script and a CBB schematic can be exported. After decompression, the TCL language script can be run to automatically read the CBB schematic in Cadence, and the schematic of the entire board can be automatically drawn in Cadence.

[0099] Regarding the above-mentioned board circuit schematic diagram generation method, it is also necessary to explain that, in some possible implementations, the expansion circuit module is actually a power supply CBB module and a clock CBB module, and these two CBB modules provide power and clock information for the board respectively. And, generally speaking, there is at least one power supply CBB module and at least one clock CBB module in the board. In addition, in some possible implementations, each target circuit module needs to be powered by a power supply CBB module, so each target circuit module needs to be provided with a power input pin (an external connection port), and the attributes of each power input pin need to be configured with current, voltage, ripple noise, etc. Of course, the power supply CBB module needs to be configured with an output pin (an external connection port), and the output pin of each power supply CBB module needs to be configured with current, voltage, ripple noise, etc. The same is true for clock and power supply, and only the power supply pin is configured with ripple noise, etc. In addition, in addition to configuring the power and clock pins, the target circuit module also has function pin configurations, such as configuring which function type the pin belongs to (GTH (Gigabit Transceiver High), PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)), and the configuration properties are different for different function types. For example, I2C needs to configure input / output, polarity (positive / negative), level standard, signal rate (Mb / s), high / low level validity, etc.

[0100] In view of the above-mentioned board circuit schematic generation method, the embodiment of the present application also provides a specific application example, and the technical problem to be solved is to simplify and automate the process of designing the entire board in Cadence.
