Xilinx's System Generator for DSP implements DSP designs on Xilinx FPGAs. A freeware version of its EDA software called ISE WebPACK is used with some of its non-high-performance chips. Xilinx is the only (as of 2007) FPGA vendor to distribute a native Linux freeware synthesis toolchain. [121]
Virtex is the flagship family of FPGA products currently developed by AMD, originally Xilinx before being acquired by the former. [1] Other current product lines include Kintex (mid-range) and Artix (low-cost), each including configurations and models optimized for different applications. [2]
Xilinx Simulator (XSIM) Xilinx: VHDL-1993,-2002 (subset),-2008 (subset), [2] V2001, V2005, SV2009, SV2012, SV2017: Xilinx Simulator (XSIM) comes as part of the Vivado design suite. It is a compiled-language simulator that supports mixed language simulation with Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL and SystemC language.
The Vivado High-Level Synthesis compiler enables C, C++ and SystemC programs to be directly targeted into Xilinx devices without the need to manually create RTL. [15] [16] [17] Vivado HLS is widely reviewed to increase developer productivity, and is confirmed to support C++ classes, templates, functions and operator overloading.
Xilinx produced the first commercially viable field-programmable gate array in 1985 [3] – the XC2064. [5] The XC2064 had programmable gates and programmable interconnects between gates, the beginnings of a new technology and market. [6] The XC2064 had 64 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), with two three-input lookup tables (LUTs). [7]
Since 2012, Xilinx ISE has been discontinued in favor of Vivado Design Suite that serves the same roles as ISE with additional features for system on a chip development. [8] [9] Xilinx released the last version of ISE in October 2013 (version 14.7), and states that "ISE has moved into the sustaining phase of its product life cycle, and there are no more planned ISE releases."
In computer engineering, a hardware description language (HDL) is a specialized computer language used to describe the structure and behavior of electronic circuits, usually to design application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and to program field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
