I do know there are issues, also some issues are related to some date codes only so check all relevant materials, if nothing helps open webcase, ie the usual path.well as WebCase support is now done from China I doubt if that brings anything. For me the platform flash are on DO NOT USE list. I just have worked with them so I know something about them - like details of the programming what is still not published (and will never be) by Xilinx.

Its a great feeling, walking down the street and waving/saying "gidday" to a dozen or more people you know. In small towns, people tend to be a lot friendlier. Admittedly the choices for restaurants arent great, but thats what cooking was invented for. And of course at 9:30pm you are shit out of luck if you want to buy something, so plan ahead. my Fiancee lives in Auckland, and I'm 1hr 10 mins away (I dont speed). the funny thing is, most of her friends in auckland are further away, unless its very late at night. An hours drive doesnt get you very far in a big city.... Cheers TerryArticle: 95502

I saw Paul Hogan ("Crocodile Dundee") on some talk show, and he was
talking about, more or less, the history of Australia, and he said, "Well,
actually, you Yanks are a little cleverer than we were. You guys escaped!
We got caught and shipped off to a place called "Devil's Island", a sort
of a prison colony. Nobody had any idea at the time that it was this whole
great continent!"

I don't do public engineering anymore, and I didn't have the PE when I did, but I did a lot of work that REQUIRED a PE stamp somewhere in the process. That was when I was working in building A/V systems and toll road construction. Big thing for a PE is when you are designing work for public construction, such as buildings or road or dams and such. Also, certain goverment contracts may require a PE to be in the process. Also, if you are going to advertise services AS AN ENGINEER, then you have to have a PE on staff. I just warned a good friend of mine about that. He knew I had my own fictional company, Edmondson Engineering, so he created his own company, and called it XXX Engineering. I warned him that, unless he included someone with a PE on his staff with considerable ownership, he was in trouble. I then offered my services... 8-) CharlieArticle: 95504

I think it is a small thing to fix the data sheets so they show the data rather than a marketing interpretation of the data.

I'm trying to instantiate some LVDS input buffers in VHDL using the
following code:
LVDS_lines:
for i in 0 to 19 generate
Inputs_LVDS : IBUFDS_LVDS_25_DT -- LVDS input buffer with Rterm
active
port map (
I => data_lvds_in_p(i),
IB => data_lvds_in_n(i),
O => data_lvds_in_sig(i));
end generate;
but ISE doesn't seem to recognise IBUFDS_LVDS_25_DT as it just gives me an
Undefined Symbol error. Missing off the DT is OK but I need the termination
resistor to be active so it has to be this buffer.
If anyone has any ideas what's wrong I'd be grateful to hear.
TIA.
Rog.

Some years ago, I read some car ad in some magazine, and one of their proudest items was "All-screw-slots-aligned German Engineering." But I'm probably biased - I apparently have mostly German Blood, which is probably why the "Americanized" version of my family name is so hard to pronounce. Do the Spanish-based languages even _have_ a long "I" sound? Thanks, Rich Grise, pronounced Greiss if you're German or Gryce if you're some kind of emigré. :-) And if you learned anything _at all_ in elementary school about English pronunciation, you'd have heard, "Long I, Silent E". Interestingly, the only people I've met who have pronounced my name right on the first try have been Asians. Probably because they pay attention in school. Thanks again, still meArticle: 95523
