| 1 I, Mychaela Falconia, am mostly a software girl, but every now and then I make | |
| 2 a foray into hardware design out of necessity: if I want to play with a toy | |
| 3 that doesn't exist, I have to design and build it myself if I wish to bring it | |
| 4 into existence. When I did my first hw design (the OSDCU board for SDSL) and a | |
| 5 few very simple boards subsequent to that one, my hw design (EDA) environment | |
| 6 ran on a big UNIX machine named ifctfvax. My tool suite (ueda) and the | |
| 7 associated part library (ifctf-part-lib) were maintained in a CVS repository on | |
| 8 ifctfvax. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 The present Hg repository is an adaptation of my hw design environment from | |
| 11 UNIX to Linux; it has been created for the following two reasons: | |
| 12 | |
| 13 1. Due to a downturn in my personal life circumstances, I had to shut ifctfvax | |
| 14 down, and it may be a while before I can power it back up. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 2. My current board design projects are part of the FreeCalypso libre phone | |
| 17 project (www.freecalypso.org), and I don't expect to have much overlap | |
| 18 between the libre phone community and the big old UNIX community - hence I | |
| 19 thought it would be a good idea to make my FC hardware designs accessible to | |
| 20 those who don't care much for big old UNIX. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 To use these EDA tools, go into the ueda subdirectory and run 'make' followed | |
| 23 by 'make install'. The ifctf-part-lib tree needs to be installed in (copied | |
| 24 verbatim to) /usr/local/eda. |
