I recommend one of D. Harmon's footgen http://dlharmon.com/geda/footgen.html Disadvantage: although it has the Xilinx BGAs entered, you need to add your packages to its database. That's pretty easy, though. or my old QFP menu, part of stock pcb. I just tried it, it "just worked". Amazing it didn't get broken with all the other changes lately. It couldn't find its library, although lib/qfp.dat is part of the pcb source tree. Copy that file to your home directory, and you should see a library entry titled TQFP-144 Xilinx XCV50 Disadvantage: not newlib, and you'll have to double-check the footprints. AFAIK none of the entries there have been proven in a board design. That latter problem applies (more or less) to _every_ footprint in PCB, until someone comes up with a database of footprints that includes revision histories, and various stages of sign-off, concluding with "volume production of machine-stuffed boards, with low field failure rates after five years". - Larry _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
