Linked FPGA-PCB Project Changes - Pin Swapping in both PCB and FPGA Projects

Frozen Content

It may be that pin changes have been made in both the PCB project and FPGA project without a synchronize occurring. If this is the case, entering the FPGA Workspace Map dialog will show the Schematic-FGPA Project link out of date (Red).

Clicking on the link will open the Synchronize dialog, with all differences highlighted in red. It is not possible to pass the relevant changes in their respective directions (PCB to FPGA and FPGA to PCB) simultaneously. The sequence for passing the changes as required and resynchronizing the link is summarized as follows:

First choose the initial direction in which to pass changes, by clicking on either the Update To PCB or Update To FPGA buttons.

In the Engineering Change Order dialog that appears, all changes will be geared to the chosen direction. Enable only those modifications that are required for that direction.

Execute the changes.

When the Synchronize dialog reappears, click on the Update button that was not initially pressed, in order to pass changes in the opposite direction.

Execute the changes in the subsequent Engineering Change Order dialog that appears.

The Synchronize dialog will reappear, showing no differences in the Matched Signals list (appearing totally green). In the FPGA Workspace Map dialog, the link will have returned to its fully synchronized status (Green).
