Introduction:

spinout is a superb pinout creation, maintenance, and conversion tool for FPGA developers. spinout is vendor-agnostic; not limited to one or two FPGA vendors. spinout runs on Jim Tcl, the small-footprint Tcl interpreter.

Features of This Version:

• This initial version has proven usable in applications.
• Loads and saves CSV files suitable for collaborating in Notion, or spreadsheets, or other apps.
• Integrates with Intel Quartus command-line tools to interact with your FPGA design in real time.
• Outputs
• Usable in scripts, or interactively on the command line using ordinary jimsh.

Requirements:

• Jim 0.79 or later
• slim OOP package

Building:

There is no build process. Simply package require spinout; see the top of spinout.tcl for details.

Future Direction:

• Bug fixes
• Support more data fields, such as drive strength.
• More device files.
• Automatically unzip the markdown+CSV zip file exported by Notion.
• Xilinx Vivado support. The existing vendor-independent approach should make this easy.
