Convert a jedec files to an ABEL


Problem Description:
How to convert a jedec file to an ABEL file with the XABEL-CPLD software.


Solution 1:

1.) Import the files in to a new project so they appear in your sources window.
2.) Consult the on-line help for either the 7k or 9k device kit.  Find the
    device the jedec was generated for in the JEDEC Device Types help screens.
    Use the FIND+ tool to expedite this step.
3.) Highlight the jedec file in your sources window, and under the Tools menu
    on the menu-bar, select Convert JEDEC to ABEL.
4.) Enter the Device Type at the prompt that you have looked up in step 2.
    i.e.  P22V10
5.) There will now be a file.ABL in the project directory.  In order to merge
    all the designs, a top level ABEL file must be created to join each file.
    There are help screens for creating a top level ABEL file int he ABEL
    on-line help system.  (Not the device kit help!)
