Where have you tried looking ?

[bruce_karaffa]

To expand on @drjohnsmith's response, most of these questions should be asked of an authorized Xilinx distributor.  I think you will find that most of the parts you are asking about are discontinued.

I was referred to open a ticket here on website through service portal. All I seem to get directed to is posting on message board. My one contact for Xilinx is the one that referred me to here. I'm aware the parts are being discontinued, I'm accomlishing my normal 6 month review of Part's list, and just needing verification that no changes have occurred since my last report.

[drjohnsmith]

Were you refered here , or to the service centre ?

I've tried to open a task through service center and everything directed me to the posts.

HI @dracdenn ,

Your FAE is the best contact to get these answers. I will try to ask him to answer.

[dracdenn]

Thank you, I'd appreciate that, but the POC I did have referred me here, and because the p/n's I'm asking about are older versions, it doesnt allow me to open a service ticket. Only option I get is to post here in forum for assistance.

d,

That is because your only real support is through your authorized distributor.   If you feel Xilinx has classified you incorrectly, you should open a service request.

l.e.o.

Hi @dracdenn 

We have contacted your sales contact and asked him to reply to this questions directly. As per the Service Portal page, this type of questions are not supported through the Service Portal:

This is the same for the forums. You will not get these answers here.
