Pin model schema #96

Closed info-rchitect closed 6 years ago

info-rchitect commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Given the rich pin model of Origen I was wondering if it made sense to create a formal schema. I think most Origen users would agree that there is no IP-XACT version of pins except IEEE1687 *shudder*. Many users are probably sick and tired of parsing convoluted Excel files with broken macros to find the necessary pin functionality across device mode and package types.

If someone with a pretty complex device, meaning it uses all or most of the pin model, could export some pins I would gladly write the schema and add it to cross-origen as an import. I think just using JSON to export an instantiated device pins would work. Any takers?

@welguisz, any thoughts on this one?

ginty commented 7 years ago

@aaronburg, of interest to you?

welguisz commented 7 years ago

I have too many thoughts. Think it would be better to discuss in person to figure this out much better than discuss in a thread.

I'd like to bring in Kristen Mason or Oleg (Spider guy) for this discussion. I think it is a good idea to try to push for some standard description.

@welguisz I would be glad to meet you in Scotland for a pint if that will get this discussion moving.
