Closed bug report

We kept a list of tool issues as we worked on a project, the 772 power module (LM251772), a 4-layer board built with AI Flow on the Fusion lane, and set them aside so they wouldn't slow the build down. Now that the project is finished, we're filing them together. Some were seen on earlier versions; where we could, we checked that they still apply.

Versions: fusion-bridge 1.13.4x, Fusion lane of adom-aiflow.

What happens: after importing an EAGLE design, the bridge read the board (board_info) before Fusion had finished loading the board view. It reported nothing_instantiated although every part was placed; reading again a few seconds later showed them all.

Expected: the import waits for the board document to finish loading before the read-back, or the read-back retries until the part count is stable.

No design files attached; happy to describe more on request.

Thanks for keeping this list, Glenn. Fixed in fusion-bridge 1.13.72, which is public. Update the bridge; Fusion needs one restart to load the new add-in.

After an EAGLE import, the bridge now reads the board again until every part is there, or the count stops changing, for about 30 seconds at most.

We tested an import on 1.13.72 and it counted every part. We didn't see the early read happen ourselves, so we can't say the failure you hit was reproduced. If nothing_instantiated comes back on a good board, please reopen this.
