This release now requires a license to remove some limitations on larger files.    Those of you doing small projects will likely have no issues using the free unlicensed version, but those working on larger projects may want to purchase a license to allow viewing sufficient data in a session.

...We are getting very close to releasing 1.0 (finally) and want to get this version out for some wider testing before we release the next major revision.   There are many violations of the VCD standards amongst the many tools that generate these, which makes it difficult for us to be sure that there are no issues out there so your feedback is greatly appreciated when issues do come up.

...While the file size limitation is prohibitive for some commercial applications at this point, it is much less of an issue for students or others working with smaller data sets.  ...  So while the size issues will likely be addressed in a forked version of Scansion in the future (which I&rsquo;ll charge for), there will always be an up to date and freely available version that is more tailored toward smaller data sets.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Scansion Beta 9 Released</title><dc:creator>info@logicpoet.com</dc:creator><category>Scansion</category><dc:date>2008-11-10T21:19:44-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.logicpoet.com/blog_files/scansion_beta_0.9#unique-entry-id-18</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.logicpoet.com/blog_files/scansion_beta_0.9#unique-entry-id-18</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We continue to need your help in identifying the remaining bugs and issues, so please contact us when you find anything that is causing you problems.

...Scansion supports this already, and will still support the previous 0.5 version for a while as well, but it will be phased out at some point in the near future.


...First, the previous file format had difficulties streaming to a file in many cases, since it required all events for a trace to be included as sub-elements of that trace; this basically required the file to be written at the end of the simulation which doesn&rsquo;t scale well.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New OSX SystemC Suite Adds GreenSocs &#x26; SystemC-WMS Support</title><dc:creator>info@logicpoet.com</dc:creator><category>SystemC</category><dc:date>2008-08-18T07:50:48-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.logicpoet.com/blog_files/systemc_suite_081808.html#unique-entry-id-11</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.logicpoet.com/blog_files/systemc_suite_081808.html#unique-entry-id-11</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Our new SystemC Installer Suite offers you a single download for installing the OSCI SystemC libraries and SystemC-AMS, and now includes support for a variety of GreenSocs libraries and SystemC-WMS.
