Abstract:
1. An apparatus for supporting design of an electronic equipment, comprising: an acquisition section configured to acquire design information including layout information of a print circuit board associated with the electronic equipment, and component information; an extractor configured to extract, based on the design information, signal lines respectively and electrically connected to pins of a connector, wherein the connector is used to electrically connect plural electronic equipment to each other through a cable; and a detector configured to detect a signal line from the extracted signal lines, as a victim wiring, wherein the detected signal line crosses a signal line other than the extracted signal lines in a case where it is viewed from a laminating direction of layers of the print circuit board, wherein the extractor further extracts signal lines before and after passage of a noise reduction component, and in a case where a first signal line after passing through the noise reduction component connected to a pin of the connector crosses a second signal line before passing through the noise reduction component, the detector detects the first signal line as the victim wiring, and wherein at least one of the acquisition section, the extractor, or the detector is implemented at least in part by hardware components of the apparatus.
