Folks,
I have to maintain a legacy device, which has a GAL16V8D in it, and I have never used GAL before. Could you recommend good software for the design and synthesis of GAL(preferably one that uses VHDL)?
I have downloaded the ispLEVER and Synplify from Lattice web site, but I couldn't find a good explanation/tutorial on how to use them. It seems that Synplify is a synthesis tool, and ispLEVER is mainly a fitting tool. But the problem is that GAL is not in the list of technologies supported by Synplify. It's probably considered old. (The newer ispGAL is in the list, but the plain ol' GAL isn't.)
Thanks,
Nick
