Appendix I

  • Notes on the use of Icebox for Gate Array Design

    The appendix provides useful information about the use of the Icebox NT 2000 software for the design of schematics and layouts for the Gate Array.

    A certain amount of Icebox knowledge is assumed following the Hybrid exercise.

    This document will not tell you how to use Icebox. It will on the other hand provide guidelines that, if followed, could save you many hours of wasted effort.
