Backup and Rollback of FPGA Library.

The PADS I/O Designer File menu includes selections to help you manage FPGA library backups.

File > Rollback FPGA library allows you to rollback library changes to the selected backup. Selecting one of the menu options (e.g. iod_updater_bak_2010-12-14-13-29-02) starts the rollback process.

Before beginning the rollback process, PADS I/O Designer displays a message informing you that it will automatically close PADS I/O Designer.

If you confirm the rollback, FPGA Updater starts in rollback mode, displaying only the progress of the rollback operation.

File > Backup FPGA library starts FPGA Updater, and performs a backup. Again progress of the operation is displayed.

Pressing “Cancel” opens the Cancel updates install dialog box, where you are given the option to either cancel the update entirely, or continue with the installation, canceling only the backup.

File > Clear FPGA Library Backups removes all backups from the disk.

File > Show FPGA Library Updater logs opens the LogViewer:
