Dynamic printed circuit board design reuse

摘要

Techniques for enabling the dynamic reuse of printed circuit board designs are provided. A master printed circuit board design comprising a plurality of modular flexible designs is received. Additionally, a target design that includes ones of the plurality of flexible designs is identified. Subsequently, as the master design, or ones of the plurality of flexible designs within the master design, are modified, the target design is correspondingly modified. With some implementations, the master design is housed within a library. The library may be used to implement versioning capability for the flexible designs. With further implementations, the master design may itself be a target design.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, a master printed circuit board design partitioned into multiple flexible circuit designs; receiving, by the computing system, a proposed change to the master printed circuit board design; selectively modifying, by the computing system, at least one of the flexible circuit designs in the master printed circuit board design with the proposed change based, at least in part, on a classification of the at least one of the flexible circuit designs as golden or non-golden; identifying, by the computing system, a target printed circuit board design that includes at least one of the flexible circuit designs modified in the master printed circuit board design; and modifying, by the computing system, the identified flexible circuit designs in the target printed circuit board design to correspond to the modified flexible circuit designs in the master printed circuit board design.
