XDE: Converting an XACT 5 lca file to pre-XACT 5 format.


Record #298

Problem Title:
XDE: Converting an XACT 5 lca file to pre-XACT 5 format.


Problem Description:




Solution 1:




To convert an lca file create with XACT 5 to the old format,
which is compatible with software versions prior to XACT5,
start XACT 5.0 with the command:

   xact -lcaver=1

And load the design. If you then save the design, it will be put out
in a version 1 LCA file, which should be readable in previous versions.

* Don't invoke XACT with the XDE.BAT file: the batch file doesn't pass
   this option name correctly and XACT fails.
