version control of ISE+EDK projects with CVS and/or SVN

I am afraid, the only way to find out, is to partly delete files and try to reconstruct in order fo find out, what can be thrown away and what should be kept.

Theoretically, those should be enough, plus your pcores-directory (in case you have created your own peripherals) and the directory where you store your application code (the C-code for your program).

Putting anything else in the repository will not work smoothly, because EDK deletes whole directory trees when you clean up the project to have it synthesize again.

The implementation directory for example... usually I would like to check in the created netlist files, but once you re-run the EDK flow, EDK deletes the directory including the hidden CVS directories, so your usual CVS client gets really confused...

And once again, Xilinx shows their complete antipathy towards any sort of version control ....

Use: ls -uAlF ,ie the last access time of the file(s). Quite hand sometimes to find out which files that are actually used.

might differ for posix systems.

.xmp .mhs and .mss is enough to rebuild the edk part. Don't forget any customized linkerscripts/makefiles and, of course, the software source files.
