XACT-CPLD: Listing of all the Fitter patches


Record #3807

Product Family:  Hardware

Product Line:  9500

Problem Title:
XACT-CPLD: Listing of all the Fitter patches


Problem Description:
Keywords: xact, cpld, patches, list, changes, dates, programs,
application

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

This file contains detailed descriptions of all CPLD software patches
available to customers and FAEs. Each patch is available in PC, Sun and
HP versions as appropriate.

Please note that the dates listed in each file description refers to the
date that the file was added to the patch, not the file creation date. The
file version is the version number displayed when the executable name is
entered on the command line.

You should always update ALL OF THE FILES contained in each patch, otherwise
results may be unpredictable.



Solution 1:

File Name:	   FITTERPC.ZIP (PC), FITTERSN.TAR.Z (Sun), FITTERHP.TAR.Z (HP)
Last Updated:	   4/3/97
Affected Products: XACT-CPLD  v6.01 and earlier
		   XABEL-CPLD v6.12, v6.11, v6.10
		   Foundation v6.02, v6.01


			    Affected
Contents      Date    Ver   Products   Ver    Description

HPLUSAS6.EXE  9/12/96 6.02  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Corrects internal software error
				       6.00   occuring when a negative polarity
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   WIRE-AND equation in FastCONNECT
				       6.11   drives another WIREAND equation.
			    Foundation 6.01   For example:
					      /a = b * /c; FC node
					       d = /a * e; FC node

HITOP.EXE     9/12/96 6.02  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Eliminates core dump during
				       6.00   product term assignment
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   optimization
				       6.11
			    Foundation 6.01 - Eliminates core dump when
					      customer trys to mistakenly
					      drive two output pins from
					      same logic source. (A logic
					      function can only drive one
					      output pin.)

					    - Supports use of local feedback
					      path when specified with XACT
					      Performance and partitioning

					    - Eliminates incorrect inversion
					      of signals that used local feed
					      back path.

					    - Refined product term assignment
					      optimization for fitting
					      efficiency

	      3/10/97 6.02d XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572PC44 support
				       6.00
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10 - Improved error checking to catch
				       6.11   user pin assignment conflicts
				       6.12   that would result in incorrect
			    Foundation 6.01   pinouts being generated in report
					      file


	      4/03/97 6.02f XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Eliminates incorrect logic
				       6.00   implementation that could
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   result in the disabling of
				       6.11   macrocell feedback. This would
				       6.12   only occur when the design was
			    Foundation 6.01   pinlocked and the fitter chose
					      to insert a buffer between an
					      output enable controlled logic
					      funtion and the device pin to
					      maintain the same pinout.

					      The fitter will now move the logic

					      function to a buried macrocell and

					      insert an output enable controlled

					      buffer between the logic function
					      and the pin.


TAENGINE.EXE  7/31/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.00 - Corrects incorrect reporting of
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   set_uptime of a clock signal to
					      itself. Tracing of this false
					      path makes performance appear
					      to be slower than it really is.

	      9/12/96 6.02  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Rebuilt for consistancy across
				       6.00   PC, HP and SUN platforms. This
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   file was originally contained
				       6.11   in TAPC and TASUN patches.
			    Foundation 6.01

FSIM.EXE      9/12/96 6.02  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Included in FITTTERHP.TAR only,
				       6.00   it is included for consistancy
					      across PC, HP and Sun versions

MODEL6.CHP    8/08/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Correction to XC95216HQ208 and
				       6.00   XC95180HQ208 package model.
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   Pins 66 and 69 are GND, not I/O.
				       6.11
			    Foundation 6.01

	      11/04/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572 JEDEC file
				       6.00   generation
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
			    Foundation 6.01

	       3/10/97	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572PC44 support
				       6.00
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
				       6.12
			    Foundation 6.01

HPREP6.EXE   11/04/96 6.02a XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572 JEDEC file
				       6.00   generation
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11 - Corrected ordering of
			    Foundation 6.01   Usercode bits

	      3/10/97 6.02c XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572PC44
				       6.00   JEDEC file generation
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
				       6.12
			    Foundation 6.01

	      4/03/97 6.02e XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC95288 JEDEC
				       6.00   file generation
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
				       6.12
			    Foundation 6.01

TSIM.EXE      3/10/97 6.02c XACT-CPLD  6.01
				       6.00
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
				       6.12
			    Foundation 6.01

MODELF.TIM    8/08/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Adjusted
					      product term clock

				       6.00   timing for XC95108 -7,-10,-15.
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   The new timing is:
				       6.11		  -7	-10   -15
			    Foundation 6.01   tPSU (min)  1.5	 2.5   4.0
					      tPH  (min)  4.0	 4.0   4.0
					      tPCO (min)  9.5	10.5  12.0

					      The value of tPTCK in the
					      timing model is now:
							  -7	 -10	-15
					      tPTCK (max) 4.0	 3.5	2.5

					      Yes, tPTCK is faster in the
					      timing model for slower devices.


PARTLIST.XCT   3/10/97	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added XC9572PC44 support
				       6.00
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11
				       6.12
			    Foundation 6.01

XC_9500.SDS    3/10/97	     XABEL-CPLD 6.10 - Added XC9572PC44 support
				       6.11
				       6.12
