Exporting and Preserving System Programming

Learn how to back up your system configuration and capture current settings from Xilica hardware.

To export the system programming from installed hardware:

1. Go to Network View

2. Double-click the master DSP device

3. Select the General tab

4. Click "Download Project Backup File"

The project file downloaded directly from hardware has limitations:

• It represents the original loaded configuration

• It does not include any parameter changes made during operation

To preserve the current state of your system:

1. Open the downloaded project file (.pjxml)

2. Click "Load Design to Device(s)"

3. Uncheck "Load to device" under all Project Devices

4. This synchronizes current hardware settings to your project file

5. Click "Go Back to Design Mode"

6. Save the file to preserve these settings on your computer

When loading a project file to hardware:

• Designer saves the project file to the designated master DSP

• Only the most recent project file is stored; previous files are overwritten

• The master DSP is the device with Project Schedule enabled

If no device has been designated as master, you can set this in Project View:

1. Single-click on a device (FR1 or QR1) in your design

2. In the Object Property menu, find "Project System Component"

3. Enable "Project Scheduler" for this device

This procedure ensures you can always recover your complete system configuration.
