Retrieving VHDL code from jedec file

Questions:

- Is there a way to retrieve VHDL code from jedec or binary file read from programmed component?
-What all files are generated in the process?


Response:

 

A JEDEC or HEX file (design file) can be read back from an already programmed CPLD by using the READ operation in the ISR software (version 3 or later). A utility called disasm.exe can convert the jedec file back to VHDL. This utility can be found in the C:\Program Files\CYPRESS\WARP\bin directory. The VHDL file created is not human readable, it can be understood by Warp only.

 

There are no other files generated such as a Boolean equation or report files. All that disasm.exe utility create is the netlist .
