Remove Stacked Sequence Structure from the FPGA palette

Status: New

Why the "Stacked Sequence Structure" is still present in the FPGA palette? It has been removed from other targets palettes. I think it's better not be in the FPGA palette also.

Any specific reason you think using it on FPGA Targets is bad ?

 

I sometimes use it on FPGA (but mostly on host side) to reuse BD real estate during initialization - like setting FP controls/indicators and internal data to a known state. Also ensures everything in the frame executes before proceeding to next frame.

 

What I really don't like about it are Sequence Locals - clumsy and quite useless in my opinion. I would much prefer having support for Shift Registers to allow multiple frames access and update data in a large cluster ...

Well, it has been banned from Windows and RT. Why keep in FPGA since the only difference is how you (don't) see the code?
