List of Xilinx file suffixes (for ISE)


I asked Xilinx for such a list but they don't have a complete list. I wish to make sure all input files are in source control and all output files aren't. This is with 13.1-13.2 with ISE and PlanAhead


Some of the information they have provide is the list of PAR Output Files and the ISE Design Suite Files in the Command Line Tools User Guide, the source files list from here.


Edit Aug 19 2011: mentioned 13.2 and PlanAhead Edit Sep 7 2011: removed EDK reference since some in answer



Answer



Here's the start of a community wiki for the suffixes. I agree with @David Kessner. Xilinx also has this list from the command-line tools document and published a list here and here (for earliers version of their software).

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
