Changes and Fixed Issues in VisualApplets 3.6.1#

GUI#

  • Tab and floating window titles now update immediately when a corresponding Hierarchical Box is renamed. (Ticket ID: 345318)
  • Before fixing this issue, context menu entries in floating windows weren't properly enabled. When clicking on a module, link, or selection, some valid actions in the context menu appeared greyed out. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 349250)

Operators#

Library Hardware Platform#

  • Before fixing this issue, the TxTriggerPacketMode parameter of the CxpTxTrigger operator stayed active even when multiple input ports were used. This caused errors with MCF files for storing the applet configuration at runtime. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 347507)
  • Before fixing this issue, line scan cameras could no longer be used with the CxpCamera and CxpCameraMultiTap operators when the Image Protocol on the output link was set to VALT_IMAGE2D. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 343078)

Library Memory#

  • Before fixing this issue, designs with LineMemory or ImageFifo operators using UltraRAM may have caused a build error in Enhanced netlist synthesis mode . This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 342336)
  • Before fixing this issue, simulating the FrameBufferMultiRoi operator using ROIs with XOffset > 0 showed black areas in the image. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 345327)

Library Parameters#

  • Before fixing this issue, VisualApplets could crash when range terms in operators of the Parameters library caused circular references. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 329732)

Examples#

  • Before fixing this issue, the HDR examples incorrectly calculated exposure time in milliseconds instead of microseconds. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 342945)
  • Before fixing this issue, the example designs JPEG_DualCXP6x2AreaGray.vad and JPEG_QuadCXP6x1AreaGray.vad for the mE5-MA-VCX-QP platform caused DRC errors. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 344392)

Python Scripting#

  • VisualApplets can now also execute python scripts with the command line option -file. Before, this option did only work for Tcl scripts. (Ticket ID: 343946)

Miscellaneous#

  • Performance improvement when deleting big parts of a design. Before, modifying large designs in VisualApplets caused significant delays. VisualApplets has been optimized to improve performance during such operations. (Ticket ID: 315775)
  • Before fixing this issue, VisualApplets could crash when checking for automatic updates at startup. This has been fixed. (Ticket ID: 342982)
  • VisualApplets now prohibits building designs with Vivado 2025.1 and later as designs built with these versions don't work. (Ticket ID: 348084)
