Product Number: ad-fmclidar1-ebz

Software Version: None

Dear all,

I know the ad-fmclidar1-ebz platform no longer supports and there are not available in any second distributor, such as Digikey and Mouser. So I am trying to reproduce this platform with the open source hardware files. e.g. .brd file desgined by allegro 17.2. However, I am new to this CAD software so I do not know how to export Gerber files to reproduce the PCB board with the very complex manufacturing parameters.

My question is:

1. Is there anywhere to get access to the Gerber files with parameters already has been set? If so, this will be a great help.

2. If not, is there some guideline on how to export Gerber files step by step?

Very appreciate.

I tried to export the Gebger files with the AFE RevB. But there are some symbols errors so that can not continue.

My OS is windows 10 and Allegro PCB Designer 17.2-2016 S079 [11/12/2021] Windows SPB 64-bit Edition

When I was trying to create gerber, this error happened.

It seems it used a Flash Symbol, CIR40, but Allegro can't find in library.

What is this CIR40?
