**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 10 02:59:56 2005 Oct 10 06:18:20 has anyone tried the xilinx webpack on linux? Oct 10 06:19:55 hi ka6sox Oct 10 06:20:23 morning Oct 10 06:20:42 back from the Bayou now...time to get a bunch of things setup. Oct 10 06:31:49 lennert: yeah, i tried it on a debian box Oct 10 06:32:05 but now i'm running it in a win2k vmware ;) Oct 10 06:32:23 vmaster_: afaik it needs one X library that's not in debian unstable yet Oct 10 06:32:46 ok, i'll give it a try under linux then Oct 10 06:32:46 uhm, i'm using debian unstable/experimental, and didn't have to install anything extra Oct 10 06:32:59 would love to ditch the win2k box, since the only reason i have it is the xilinx tools Oct 10 06:33:05 vmaster_: okay, good Oct 10 06:33:07 just make sure you download the complete package, not the webinstall Oct 10 06:33:27 and you might have to change the DISPLAY Oct 10 06:33:38 iirc, it hat a problem with some notation Oct 10 06:33:42 *had Oct 10 06:33:46 i really only want the command-line tools Oct 10 06:34:12 i find the windows gui very awkward as i'm used to vi keybindings Oct 10 06:35:31 the gui is buggy as hell Oct 10 06:35:37 that too Oct 10 06:35:43 using the mousewheel crashed the text editor Oct 10 06:35:45 schematic capture thingy is awful Oct 10 06:36:10 let's say you have a net that connects an i/o pin to a flipflop Oct 10 06:36:16 and then you decide you want another flipflop in between Oct 10 06:36:37 you have to delete the net and the pin and then recreate them, because otherwise it will silently short the D and Q pins of the flipflops you've just inserted Oct 10 06:36:50 because if the I/O is called 'my_io_pin', it will name the entire net 'my_io_pin' Oct 10 06:36:57 yeah, i know Oct 10 06:36:59 and even if you split the net, both halves will still be called 'my_io_pin' Oct 10 06:37:01 great stuff Oct 10 06:37:24 or if you delete an i/o pin, it won't delete it from the constraints fail Oct 10 06:37:27 s/fail/file/ Oct 10 06:37:39 so the next time it'll just fail to route/map/whatever Oct 10 11:09:59 ep1220, ping? Oct 10 12:15:28 heh, that's what i call lag **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 11 00:39:08 2005 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Oct 11 02:59:56 2005
