It's not uncommon to archive the PC that has all the tools when a significant hardware project is released. Just put a big note on it and push it into a closet in case you ever need it again. (Setting up CAD tools is often quirky and hard to debug.) Again, this needs documentation. Suppose you want to make a simple one line change to fix a typo. What do you do to turn the crank and make the files you hand off to the next step?
I must have been quite a bugger in an earlier incarnation, so in this life I'm
condemned to finalize some space bound original Xilinx Virtex FPGAs that have been conceived a looong time ago. That ISE10.1 software seems to store state deep in its dungeons like paths to libraries on servers or signal names that pop up after being removed a long time. ISE should be forbidden. I now keep everything I need for a chip in a virtual XP machine, and nothing else, and save the entire machine in regular intervalls. There fit a lot of 50G machines on a 3 TByte external disk. VMware is my friend. regards, Gerhard _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
