Re: Xilinx software quality - how low can it go ?!

Hi

I really dont understand why Xilinx isnt hiring people who can develop
and test software?
Is the world-wide shortage of engineers really that bad?

Latest example:
MicroBlaze Working Design with EDK 8.1
Update to EDK 8.2 -> DDR Memory failing (was working with 8.1)
Update to EDK 9.1 -> :

./synthesis.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found

I had that one too - I faffed around for a bit to sort it. I can;t
find my notes, but I think I had to downgrade my cygwin bash IIRC, much like
we had to do with make in a previous incarnation. To be fair, it
broke on my own .bashrc as well - I may have ticked the wrong box on
the Cygwin install for DOS/Unix file formats...

I currently have:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
