MEM11A Update

2016-03-19 Thread Guy Sotomayor
Just wanted to let folks know where the MEM11A (as opposed to the UMF11) is. All of the verilog code is written for the CPLD and I’ve simulated full unibus transactions to the FRAM and everything seems to work. I’m almost done with schematic entry. I just have a few things to clean up and veri

MEM11A update

2016-03-29 Thread Guy Sotomayor
I just finished laying out the board for the MEM11A. The last roadblock was figuring out where the last 3 unrouted wires were. EagleCAD didn’t make it easy to find them and I haven’t quite figured out how to use the autorouter on Eagle 7.5, so I did this all by “hand” (at just under 2000 wires

I've never used EagleCAD but some CAD packages let you turn off all routed lines On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 5:25 PM, Paul Koning wrote: > > > On Mar 29, 2016, at 8:18 PM, Guy Sotomayor wrote: > > > > I just finished laying out the board for the MEM11A. The last roadblock > was figuring out > >

From: Guy Sotomayor: Tuesday, March 29, 2016 8:27 PM These 3 wires were *really* short. Nothing I did found them until I came across a “trick” which is to zoom out so the board is tiny and then with the route tool active, just “click” on spot on the board. In short order I found all 3 remaining
