viewing old aldec/xilinx foundation schematics

Nov 14, 2012 2 Replies

Hi, we have a very old project where schematic entry was used using the xil inx foundation 3 software with aldec schematics. New xilinx systems are not able to read these schematics. Is anybody around who still has this softwa re lying around or is able to read such schematics (perhaps using a newer A ldec package?) Would be very very welcome. T.

I have Foundation 4.1i running under Windows XP. There are no new licenses available for this from Xilinx, however existing licenses still work. What are you trying to accomplish? Do you just need to view the schematics? If so it's possible to make .pdf prints from them. If you need to use the design for updates or to port it to a new architecture, your best hope is to contact Aldec, whose latest products can still read these schematics if I'm not mistaken. Normally I only use Foundation 4.1i to support existing designs that were created ten years ago and run on already obsolete chips.
