That works in the world of software but not for hardware. You may have multiple versions of a component under version control but you can only access one at a time. If you are combining designs that use different versions then you need all of them at the same time.

That is what version control does for us.


Not quite. Tha= t works in the world of software but not for hardware. You may have multipl= e versions of a component under version control but you can only access one= at a time. If you are combining designs that use different versions=C2=A0 = then you need all of them at the same time.
