Hi Colin, thank you very much for your help. Your video finally guided me to the problem. Since some versions, impact offers a "One-Step" SVF generation option. >From there help, there was no indication that stuff is left out. Erasing, Programming, Verifying.... HOWEVER, it seems they missed to add the configure part. Even worse, simply assigning a SVF file to a existing project didn't work for me either. I used the way you showed off in the video and ONLY that way created a few lines within the SVF file which are entitled: //Operation: Program -p 0 -e -r -loadfpga -master -internalClk -clkFreq 20 -defaultVersion 0
This was exactly the part that all my other SVF files where entirely missing. You mentioned the batch mode and I will look forward how to make the conversion now without any GUI, to make sure stuff is right independent of the way and orders certain buttons get pressed in a GUI ;) Thanks again Torwag On 12 November 2012 02:50, Colin O'Flynn <cofl...@newae.com> wrote: > I forgot to answer your specific question: you need to replicate ALL the > commands you are doing in Impact.
