Abstract:
This application discloses a computing system implementing a schematic capture tool to utilize physical test capabilities of a manufacturer of a printed circuit board assembly during generation of a logical design for the printed circuit board assembly. The schematic capture tool can utilize the physical test capabilities of the manufacturer to trim a list of parts representing electronic components available for use in the printed circuit board assembly, and generate the logical design for the printed circuit board assembly utilized the trimmed list of parts. The schematic capture tool can utilize the physical test capabilities of the manufacturer to determine which nets in the logical design to assign test points. The schematic capture tool can provide an indication of the assigned test points to a layout tool, which can include the test points in a layout design for the printed circuit board assembly based on the assignment.
