kristianpaul | azonenberg: btw glade is non free sofyware, had you tried http://www.toped.org.uk ? | 11:26 |
---|---|---|
kristianpaul | azonenberg: may be you can export cat design in glade to a more generic format, so i can replace the glade screenshot for the news | 11:28 |
kristianpaul | or may be even export to a format toped can work with | 11:30 |
kristianpaul | i understand is not priority to you in your tests, but is good to know there are floss-likes alterntives as well | 11:34 |
wolfspraul | kristianpaul: I think glade and toped both deal with standardized file formats | 11:34 |
wolfspraul | gds, lef, def | 11:34 |
kristianpaul | good :-) | 11:34 |
wolfspraul | magic maybe too, don't know | 11:34 |
wolfspraul | I know too little about those tools :-) | 11:35 |
kristianpaul | azonenberg_work: if you can export the cat from to glade to a EDA format i can try toped later and let you know results | 11:39 |
kristianpaul | okay i'm late now, read you soon ! | 11:40 |
lekernel | kristianpaul, do we really need to care about such details? | 12:21 |
lekernel | "promotion of non-free software" ... phew | 12:22 |
lekernel | how irrelevant | 12:22 |
wolfspraul | ah yes, I care. I cannot leave a glade screenshot in the qi wiki (kristianpaul wrote a news item there). | 12:34 |
wolfspraul | that's all. everybody can use whatever they want, but I need to keep the Qi wiki maintainable... | 12:35 |
azonenberg | kristianpaul: I can send you a GDS | 14:39 |
azonenberg | i use glade purely because i've had trouble getting other tools to work | 14:39 |
azonenberg | http://colossus.cs.rpi.edu/~azonenberg/downloads/testpatterns.gds | 14:44 |
azonenberg | That's partly the reason i havent bothered to switch yet, as long as i can export to a standard format its trivial to migrate to a free tool if i find one that i like | 14:45 |
azonenberg | And if you care that much, do you have any screenshots of xilinx dev tools on milkymist? :P | 14:47 |
wolfspraul | azonenberg: don't blame kristianpaul :-) He wrote a news entry on the Qi wiki, not milkymist (qi-hardware.com) | 15:29 |
wolfspraul | and no, no screenshots of xilinx dev tools there, of course. if you find any I'll delete them :-) | 15:29 |
wolfspraul | it's not so much about one screenshot, but since I'm maintaining the Qi wiki I need to keep my workload low, that means - no exceptions that potentially cause me work in the future... | 15:30 |
wolfspraul | azonenberg: Chitlesh (from Fedora Electronic Lab) mentioned toped to me once, kristianpaul also mentioned it above | 15:31 |
azonenberg | I'll check it out | 15:31 |
wolfspraul | so maybe I can open the .gds file you posted in toped and take a screenshot there. would be cool together with your microscope pictures... | 15:32 |
azonenberg | Sure | 15:32 |
wolfspraul | please feel free to use whatever tool you like, I totally didn't want to annoy anyone | 15:32 |
wolfspraul | I'll try it too [toped] - tomorrow... | 15:33 |
wolfspraul | thanks for posting the .gds link! | 15:33 |
azonenberg | np, if you want gds's for any other stuff i've posted i have them floating around too | 15:33 |
azonenberg | or can generate them in a second or so from the glade file | 15:33 |
wolfspraul | if it's valuable, just commit into your google code repo | 15:34 |
azonenberg | They're generated files is the thing, not the authoritative versions | 15:34 |
azonenberg | As of now the glade file in the repo is the master | 15:34 |
wolfspraul | ah great then | 15:34 |
azonenberg | if/when i change tools i'll delete the glade versions and start committing that tool's native format | 15:35 |
azonenberg | if it happens to be gds fine, but i think its more useful for interchange than forr editing as it lacks some metadata that can be useful during design | 15:35 |
kristianpaul | azonenberg: sure sure i understand, no problem, yes please send to mail :) | 18:03 |
kristianpaul | ah,i miss the link above :) | 18:08 |
