While having my morning coffee at 11 PM (still half full) I tried
the newest version I have here (ISE11) on my test project, the one
with the one toggling bit shifting through another five.
I got a warning that the project would be converted to a new
format not usable by older versions; and a promise the old
version would be zipped somewhere (yet to check that, but I
have the source on my DPS disk beyond any alien access anyway).
The the project got open, but the Abel source was gone; the
top source now was its translation to vhdl. Fair enough, I thought,
I was warned for that sort of thing. What I was not warned of
was the fact that it would no longer work... It just won't
compile, I think it does not preserve the pin numbers I
have assigned in the Abel file.
I suppose it can be tweaked to eventually work, if there
were any sane reason why someone would want to do that.
I don't, that's sure :-).
But I was reminded once more why it is so important
to have all design tools under control, the coolrunner
series is the finest programmable silicon I have seen and
I clearly will have to adapt my lc to the 3 and perhaps
2 series, hopefully they will live for another while.
