Question about custom BOB for a 7i92

PCW, I assume you're still watching this thread.....

I just picked this thing back up again after quite some time and am repurposing it for sort of a "dual role" machine. I need to add another PWM output, I assume I can't just modify the pin file for the 7i92t since the other file is a binary right?

No the firmware has to be rebuilt and the FPGA reprogrammed. It's not so hard to build firmware yourself.

If you tell me the new PWM pin number or GPIO number is needed, I can add it
(Probably tomorrow)

I suppose you mean with the Efinix software? If ya get bored and wanna point me in the right direction......

P2, Pin3, IO-2

The 7i92 uses the Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, so you'll need Xilinx ISE.
14.7 is here: www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.ht...ols/archive-ise.html
Install tips here: gist.github.com/aliemo/ce58ea570ee6ffa6d...k_comment_id=5040735
And a fair tutorial is here:  tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/emc/xilinx...14_install_index.php

Only have experience with the Xilinx Tools for the Spartan chips.

Using efinix software is not something I've had to do, but I think it has been mentioned on the forum.
