Its a good time to be an FPGA or CPLD designer.
The high cost of ASIC-based projects and the high risk
of structured ASIC designs are enabling more advanced
features with every new generation of silicon. But without
easy-to-use, productive design tools, all of that power is
still just silicon waiting to be unleashed.
Xilinx® ISE software has long been known to
deliver some of the fastest logic in programmable design,
but the ISE design suite also delivers ease-of-use at the
lowest cost possible. With the addition of advanced
options like PlanAhead design and analysis software
and ChipScope Pro real-time FPGA debug, the complete
ISE system delivers solutions to design bottlenecks
and gets you to project completion faster.
In this issue of the Xcell Journal, we present a series of
articles about design tools and design applications to help
you explore the new offerings behind the our 7.1i design
tools release, from a general overview of ISE 7.1i software
to detailed third-party explorations of logic analyzer setup
and debug for FPGAs.
