Hi, in most IC design environments, like Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys the Open-Access format is used for both schematics and symbols (also for layout). Is there a way to use such OA libraries in KiCad, and e.g. to see such OA-based schematics in KiCad, and to edit them??
Alternatively: Is there a free OA-viewer available (best under Windows or Linux)?
Thanks, and bye, Stephan
I don’t really know anything about it, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAccess tells me enough.
I am going to guess a big no, and acknowledge what misleading marketing there name is. its “open access” in terms of “open your wallet to access”
OpenAccess is a proprietary API controlled by the OpenAccess Coalition
OpenAccess consists of a data API of which the source code is available only to coalition members
In 2005 the Cadence Berkeley Labs and the Silicon Integration Initiative launched the OpenAccesGear, a project to develop open source utilities on top of the OpenAccess database. Participants included University of California at Berkeley, UCLA and UCSC.[8] The OAGear project was subsequently suspended. Si2 has offered OAGear[9] as an unsupported project
