[phdl-devel] Novel BOM capability in PHDL

[pedro <pet...@co...>]

Guys,

I thought about a novel way to use your BOM output.  Sometimes I like to put
descriptive silkscreen text next to components, especially connectors. 

It looks like your BOM generator will pick up any attributes that I put on
any device and create a new BOM column for that attribute.  I could simply
put a "silkscreen" attribute on any component and assign it a text value.
That text would then show up in the BOM as instructions to the layout guy to
be put next to the component.  

I don't think this requires any change to the way your compiler currently
works.

Happy Holidays
