Unable to open the PCB file of the STM32H743I-EVAL board

[Sakthi_IND]

Post split from this thread.

Hi

Thank you for your response.

I have downloaded the CAD files you shared for the STM32H743I-EVAL board from the STMicroelectronics website. I was able to open the schematic file successfully in Altium.

However, I am unable to open the PCB file. I also tried opening it using Allegro, but it still does not work. It seems there might be an issue with the file—possibly corrupted or incompatible.

Could you please verify this on your side and confirm whether the files are intact? If possible, kindly share a working version of the PCB file.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Sathiya

Unfortunately I don't have the Altium nor Allegro license to check.

Which file(s) is(are) not opening for you?

Hi,

I am able to open and view the schematic file in Altium without any issues. However, the PCB file (MB1246B.brd) is not loading in Altium Designer.

I also attempted to open the same .brd file in Cadence Allegro, but it is not opening there as well.

Kindly verify the file and share it in the correct format or provide a compatible version.

Regards,

Sathiya

I'll try to find someone having Altium to test opening that file. Hope I'll find one.

Okay, I’ll wait for your update.

Hello,

One of my colleagues, suggested me to use Allegro viewer, and this is what I'm seeing:

Is that what you are seeing in the corrupted file?

Hi,

However, the viewer is not able to perform any actions. The folder contains the Altium layout file, but it is not opening.

It would be helpful if the files could be shared in a format that can be easily used in both Altium Schematic and PCB. This would make it more convenient not only for me but for other users as well.

 I don't know if this is possible. Meanwhile I'll double check with the hardware team to check the files integrity content of the zip file.
