I need the updated files for the USB-C GX3 reference design as they are too old to be imported into Eagle.

Hello,

I was able to open the layout also using Cadence Allegro (2019) without any issues.

Best Regards,

Hello,

As mentioned in the following thread:
https://community.cypress.com/t5/USB-Superspeed-Peripherals/cyusb3610-chip/td-p/285363

GX3 is not recommended for new designs. 

Also, I tried to open the schematic files found in the following link using Orcad 2019:

https://www.cypress.com/documentation/reference-designs/ez-usb-gx3-usb-type-c-gigabit-ethernet-dongl...

I was able to open the file without any issues. Please let me know what exactly do you mean by "updated files". This is because I found that the schematics opened properly in Orcad 2019.

Best Regards,
