isplever and GAL

Hi everybody,

I bought the isplever 5.0 to develope a project with a lattice cpld, serie 
ispmach. I used the schematic approach, and after some attempts, everything 
went well, and I got my cpld programmed and working. Now I need to put down 
a simple logic with a GAL16V8, using the schematic, but despite everybody 
says the ISPlever environment is simple and user-friendly, with some shame I 
must admit I could not get my project done. Apparently I don't find a way to 
assign the pin number of the real device at each point of my simple 
combinatory net. I previously only used the programmable logic design tool 
of my old Orcad4 under Dos, where I just wrote the pin assignments using 
simple text, in the schematic page, each row starting with a pipe. That 
approach doesn't work with the schematic editor in ISPlever, and I am not 
able to find a tutorial or some hint in the ISPlever Help.

Any suggestion?

Bye

Come da oggetto: qualcuno ha pratica del pacchetto lattice isplever per
progettare gal? Sono riuscito a utilizzarlo per le cpld senza troppi
problemi, e adesso mi sto bloccando su una 16v8 probabilmente per qualche
problema stupido... non ci sono tutorial per le gal e l'help � assolutamente
laconico a riguardo...

I think it would be easiest to use Abel for a Gal device.  You can find
examples undert c:/ispTools/examples/spld/gal

Alternatively you could also just use a 32 m/c device like a 4032v and
do a schematic.  Cost would likely be just a little more.

  Do you know if the ABEL flows also work on the new MachXO ?

Hi jg,

to my understanding, NO !
just for you I created a test project in ispLEVER SP1 with Sch/Abel as
toplevel and machXO can not be selected as target.
when sch/VHDL is toplevel then I can select machXO OK, so I assume the abel
flow is not supported for XO unless there is hidden backdoor to enable it.

My questin is:
should I be able to write down some lines in abel, or can I use just the 
schematic and assign the pins somehow, like I was used to do with the pld 
tool under Orcad4?
