6i24-16

Hi Peter.

I apologize, because I suspect you get asked this question about a million times, but I wonder if you could give an idea of when the 6i24-16 may be available again.

Thanks,
Marty.

We should have some in a few months, there are several other cards
that require redesign ahead of it however

Thanks Peter.

I am currently using a 5i24. Have a backup pc just in case, but it has no PCI connection, rather only PCIe.

So just to confirm two things for the time some 6i24's become available:
1. From an FPGA flash perspective, simply flash the exact same bit file onto the 6i24 as the 5i24 is currently using? and
2. From a HAL file perspective, no other changes are necessary other than changing any reference from 5i24 to 6i24?
Is that about it?
Thanks!

That's correct the 5i24 and 6i24 are the same card except for the plug and all the firmware is 5i24_something.

PCW, I know how busy being in business is/can be: Is there any chance that you could put together a chart/spread sheet that shows what status of your boards are ie. discontinued, active, being redesigned or replaced. I have not seen anything like that on your web site. In your online store it only shows qty available or out of stock. I have a fair number of your boards that I have bought over the last 15-20 years and some of them will likely need to be replaced in the near future. 

Its hard to predict what will be available in the current conditions, but we will likely build 6I24-16s soon
as some Spartan 6 chips have become available again. At the minimum we are attempting to have a
at least physically equivalent replacement for most cards going forward.
