All what we later do are performed on a Linux shell. Although Cadence provides the GUI tools to download archives and load software, I prefer the command line version. Please make sure that you have the write permission on all directories to be operated.
Before you started, you should have following five tar balls, named as Base_SPB155_lnx86_"n"of5.tar , where n varies from 1 to 5. And you should also have an email or a license file(*.lic) containing registered license information. In my case, the file is license.lic.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155$ ls
Base_SPB155_lnx86_1of5.tar Base_SPB155_lnx86_3of5.tar Base_SPB155_lnx86_5of5.tar
Base_SPB155_lnx86_2of5.tar Base_SPB155_lnx86_4of5.tar license.lic
Extract them and then you can file subdirectories named as CDROM"n" in a newly-created folder "SPB155_lnx86.Base".
forrest@flavia:/forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155$ ls SPB155_lnx86.Base/
CDROM1 CDROM2 CDROM3 CDROM4 CDROM5
You will start you installation from the subdirectory CDROM1 which contains following contents:
forrest@flavia:/forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155/SPB155_lnx86.Base/CDROM1$ ls
IMAGES.DIR INSTALL.HTML pcbsystemreqs.pdf README READMES SETUP.SH sl2iswrap.zip SOFTLOAD.TAR
Please prepare an empty directory as the destination to the installation or you can leave it along since the installation program will create that directory later for you.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155/SPB155_lnx86.Base/CDROM1$ ./SETUP.SH
Type the destination of installation when prompted:
Specify path of install directory [OR type [RETURN] to exit]: /forrest/Applications/spb155
Directory /forrest/Applications/spb155 does not exist. Create? [y/n]: y
When asked whether to install InstallScape, select 'n' since we will use SoftLoad later.
Do you want to use InstallScape to install Cadence software?
InstallScape is the new Cadence Java/XML based installation utility.
It supports everything that SoftLoad does and more.
It also allows you to download Cadence software from the Internet.
For more details on InstallScape refer to InstallScape manual
/forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155/SPB155_lnx86.Base/CDROM1/manual_installscape.pdf
To install using SoftLoad select 'n'
Do you want to use InstallScape [y/n]:n
You might got the warning that could not set up SoftLoad on the destination. Don't worry, press ENTER on the next prompt. We will run SoftLoad manually later.
Could not set up SoftLoad in /forrest/Applications/spb155
You must have write permissions to install directory and all its subdirectories
and atleast 10 MB available disk space in install directory.
Specify path of install directory [OR type [RETURN] to exit]: [ENTER was pressed here!]
Exiting
Now switch to the installation destination. You should see following things:
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install$ ls
bin.lnx86 pdts pkgs tmp
Enter the bin.lnx86 directory and start the softload program.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install/bin.lnx86$ ./softload
Select
1) Load Available Products
Then select
1) Local (mounted to this machine)
Select
2) Other
on the next prompt to specify the position of your CDROM1.
Type your choice: [ 1 ] 2
Type the CD-ROM mount point: [ /cdrom ] /forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155/SPB155_lnx86.Base/CDROM1
Extracting installation information from CD#1.
When asked whether to read the README file, you can choose 'no'.
Please press y (yes) or n (no) : n
When asked " Where is the installation information?", you can choose to use your Email file. But on my case, I select
4) Cadence Catalog
Then all available packages will be listed and I suggest you to install them all if your license can verify all of them. Otherwise following the instructions on the screen to select part of them. You can press the [SPACE] key to scroll down the list. So I type "a" to select all packages.
Type your choice (a,n,p,1-3,2 5 9 ...): a
You will be asked to confirm your choice. If it is correct, answer y.
Are your selections correct? [y/n] y
You will be asked again for the confirmation before the "real" installation. Press [ENTER] to proceed and then you can have a cup of coffee.
The following media is required:
Press [Return] to proceed, q to quit :
You will be prompted to provide the mount point of other CDs during the installation process. But it seems if you CDROM2/3/4/5 file are in the same directory with CDROM1, the program can find them automatically.
When you are done, you will return to the top screen of SoftLoad. Now let's do some configurations:
1. Go to the installation destination and make a symbolic link.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155$ ls
data doc install INSTALL.HTML pcbsystemreqs.pdf README share tmp tools.lnx86 veriloglib
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155$ ln -s tools.lnx86 tools
2. Copy the license.lic file into the share/license subdirectory of your installation destination.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155$ cp /forrest/LinuxSoft/eda/Cadence/Allegro.SPB155/license.lic ./share/license/
3. Set and export following environmental variables
# Cadence PSD environment
export CDS_INST_DIR=/forrest/Applications/spb155
export CDS_LIC_FILE=$CDS_INST_DIR/share/license/license.lic
export CDS_DIR=$CDS_INST_DIR
export CONCEPT_INST_DIR=$CDS_DIR
export CDS_SITE=$CDS_DIR/share/local/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CONCEPT_INST_DIR/tools/lib
export CDSDOC_PROJECT=/CDS_INST_DIR/doc
export PATH=$CDS_INST_DIR/tools/jre/bin:$CONCEPT_INST_DIR/tools/bin:$CONCEPT_INST_DIR/tools/pcb/bin:$CONCEPT_INST_DIR/tools/fet/bin:$PATH
Please set your destination as CDS_INST_DIR.
You can put above lines into your ~/.bashrc or into /etc/profile and "source modified_environmental_variable_definition_file". For example, I put them at the end of /etc/profile and run a "source /etc/profile".
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install/bin.lnx86$ sudo vim /etc/profile
Password:
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install/bin.lnx86$ source /etc/profile
4. Make a symbolic link since basename is needed in Allegro configuration process.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
If the location of basename is different from mine, you may search its location and make a symbolic link as I do.
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155$ whereis basename
basename: /usr/bin/basename /usr/X11R6/bin/basename /usr/bin/X11/basename /usr/share/man/man1/basename.1.gz
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
5. Install csh since sometimes you will need it. (The default shell on Linux is bash rather than csh.)
OK, now start SoftLoad again:
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install/bin.lnx86$ ./softload
Select
4) Configure Installed Products
this time.
Then select
1) System-level Configuration
Confirm all products will be configured
Type your choice (a,n,p,1-3,2 5 9 ...): a
Confirm again
Are your selections correct? [y/n] y
You will be asked about Stream Manager. I choose to install it now.
Preparing to configure the Stream Manager tool now...
This release includes a copy of the Stream Manager tool and associated data
files which help you to set up and manage your run-time environment.

You will need to install a program called "registry" then. I accept the default settings.
Locating a central Cadence registry.
The Cadence registry is a read-only registry which contains Product and
Stream template data supplied by Cadence. The Softload system configuration
step populates this registry over time.
Cannot locate an existing Cadence registry root directory through the
CDS_REGISTRY_ROOT environment variable or in the default location
/forrest/Applications/spb155/smCdsReg.

Then have a cup of coffee again.
Press q to quit SoftLoad when you are done.
You can start Allegro now by typing "allegro" on the shell. But it will be some problem
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/install/bin.lnx86$ allegro
/forrest/Applications/spb155/tools/pcb/bin/allegro.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To fix this problem, I manually replace
line 88 of /forrest/Applications/spb155/tools/fet/bin/fet_env.sh
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0
into
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
and line 179 of /forrest/Applications/spb155/share/bin/cdsdoc
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
into
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
insert
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 into tool/pcb/bin/allegro
but still a problem
forrest@flavia:/forrest/Applications/spb155/tools/pcb/bin$ allegro
