Stub FPGA Project - Passing Changes to the PCB Designer

When design changes have been made to the Master FPGA design project, they need to be passed back to the PCB Designer. Once again, the key to synchronicity between the two (remote) projects is the Stub FPGA project. For more details on the types of changes that can be carried out in the FPGA project, follow the links below:

The Import FPGA Project Changes Wizard is once again used, only this time, the changes are imported into the Stub FPGA project from the Master FPGA project. It is therefore important that you have made the Stub FPGA project the focused project before launching the Wizard.

Having passed the design changes into the Stub FPGA project, it is then sent over to the PCB Designer.

The Stub project should be opened along with the PCB project and relinked. With the Projects panel in Structure Editor mode, drag-and-drop the entry for the Stub FPGA project onto the FPGA Component entry (under the schematic sheet in the PCB project).

The FPGA Workspace Map dialog is then used to pass the changes from the Stub FPGA project back into the FPGA component schematic sheet in the PCB project and ultimately on into the PCB document.
