Hey I have a macbook intel with MAC OSX 10.6, and i want to run a live cd with the Fedora electronic lab because i am studying electronic engineering and i believe these programs are really great!I have downloaded the Fedora-11-i686-Live-FEL.iso file and i have try many times to create a live usb from the disk utility program.Every time when i run the live usb on my mac there is a problem on boot. Actually there is a command line and i do not know how to run the fedora.I hope you can help me...Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Make it easier for your friends to see what you’re up to on Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/so…

[fedora-electronic-lab] upcoming gtkwave 3.3.0
by Nigel noldsworth 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Hello, I just came across this group about GTKwave. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.vhdl/browse_thread/thread/fe0a3991… Since Chitlesh seems to like tcl/tk from his blog posts, are we going to see more gtkwave integration with alliance, instead of the default alliance's limited waveform viewer?

[fedora-electronic-lab] Offline for one month or more
by Chitlesh GOORAH 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello there, I'm currently relocating to another country and will be fedora-offline for a while, probably one month (probably be on and off). If my packages require immediate actions for any reason, please do the necessary in my place. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/chitlesh As far as the FEL spin is concerned, it is still scheduled for F-13 and recent work done by Shakthi Kannan and Arun Sag made microelectronics design even more exciting. If you have any question, please email us on FEL's mailing list. Shakthi Kannan and others would be pleased to answer you. I wish you all Merry Christmas and New Year 2010 ;) Kind regards, Chitlesh Goorah

#89: Package NuSMV ---------------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: shakthimaan | Owner: chitlesh Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 13 Component: FEL | Version: devel Keywords: model checker, verification, hardware | ---------------------------------------------------+------------------------ NuSMV is a Symbolic Model Checker released under LGPL. http://nusmv.fbk.eu/index.html This is useful for formal verification of hardware. One needs to use the cudd package (BSD) shipped with NuSMV instead of the one shipped on Fedora because it has many changes. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/ticket/89> Fedora Electronic Lab <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab> Design, Simulate and Program electronics.

[Fedora-electronic-lab] FEL website clarification
by Shakthi Kannan 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi Chitlesh, Couple of clarifications required. In the website: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/ 1. It mentions, "No licenses required and it is free". Sometimes, customers only ask for 'licensed' software, and Free/Open Source Software _is_ licensed. Can this be re-phrased to something like "Licensed software and free to use, modify and distribute"? 2. Can we also mention it as "Free/"Open Source EDA community provider/builder etc.? Regards, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com

[Fedora-electronic-lab] thank you for this platform
by Nigel noldsworth 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hello, Thank you for this robust platform for digital design. I'm a digital designer. I was using iverilog and gtkwave on ubuntu. However last year, I had a lot of issues when doing maths with verilog. Then I tried Fedora to see if if suffers these issues, but haven't encountered any. I was impressed and sticked with Fedora ever since. With the recent gplcver and vrq, it makes verilog design exciting. In the meantime, I'm learning vhdl on my own and am unable to get the name of the current state of the state machine on gtkwave. Is there a solution for that so that I don't have to declare a special non-synthesized std_logic_vector. Nigel

[Fedora-electronic-lab] Request for testing : Icarus Verilog v0.9.2 pre-release
by Chitlesh GOORAH 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hello Verilog users, A test snapshot of the next v0.9.2 iverilog release was pushed to updates-testing repository. It is upstream's last test snapshot before the v0.9.2 release. We would like you to test it against * your large structural designs (upstream's wish) * your FPGA specific designs - post synthesis [1] and post place and route The test plan is detailed here along with some known bugs https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/wiki/Testing/iverilog This release is a huge enhancement over the one in Fedora stable repositories. It is more compliant too with IEEE Standard 1364-2005 [2]. Runtime has also been improved. We would appreciate if you can give some feedbacks such as : * estimated gate count * estimated time of execution * architecture: i686 or x86_84 * rpm -q iverilog Kind regards, Chitlesh [1] : http://chitlesh.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/xilinx-icarus-verilog-post-synthes… [2] : https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/wiki/Digital/iverilog -- Chitlesh GOORAH Fedora Electronic Lab http://spins.fedoraproject.org/fel
