ChipScope™ Pro tool inserts logic
analyzer, bus analyzer, and virtual I/O low-profile software
cores directly into your design, allowing you to view any
internal signal or node, including embedded hard or soft
processors. Signals are captured at the speed of system
operation and brought out through the JTAG TAP interface,
freeing up pins for your design. Captured signals can then be
analyzed through the included ChipScope Pro Logic Analyzer tool.
The ChipScope Pro tool also interfaces with Agilent bench test
equipment through the ATC2 software core. This core synchronizes
the ChipScope Pro tool to Agilent's FPGA Dynamic Probe scope
option. This provides deeper trace memory, faster clock speeds,
more trigger options, all using fewer pins on the FPGA.
►
Key Features
■ Analyze any internal
FPGA signal, including embedded processor busses
■ Inserts low-profile,
configurable software cores either during design capture, or
after synthesis
■ All ChipScope Pro
cores are available through the Xilinx CORE Generator™ tool
■ Enhancements to the
System Monitor console make it easier to access on-chip
temperature, voltage, and external sensor
■ Change probe points
without re-synthesizing
■ Debug over an
internet connection using remote debug, from your office to the
lab, or across the globe

Xilinx System Generator™
For DSP is a high-level tool for designing
high-performance DSP systems using FPGAs.
- Develop highly parallel systems with the industry’s most
advanced FPGAs
- Provide system modeling and automatic code generation from
Simulink® and MATLAB® (The
MathWorks, Inc.)
- Integrates the RTL, embedded, IP, MATLAB and hardware
components of a DSP system
- A key component of the Xilinx XtremeDSP™ Tools Package and the
XtremeDSP Development and
Starter Kits
- Developers with little FPGA design experience can quickly
create production quality FPGA
implementations of DSP algorithms in a fraction of traditional RTL
development times.
► Key
Features
■ DSP modeling.
Build and debug high-performance DSP systems in Simulink using
the Xilinx Blockset that contains functions for signal
processing (e.g., FIR filters, FFTs), error correction (e.g.,
Viterbi decoder, Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder), arithmetic,
memories (e.g., FIFO, RAM, ROM), and digital logic. The Xilinx
Blockset also provides blocks for importing MATLAB functions
(e.g., to create control circuits) and HDL modules (System
Generator provides HDL co-simulation interfaces to ModelSim from
Mentor Graphics and the Xilinx ISE Simulator).
■ Automatic code
generation of VHDL or Verilog from Simulink. Implement
behavioral (RTL) generation and target specific Xilinx IP cores
from the Xilinx Blockset. There is also a limited (but useful)
ability to generate RTL for functions written in MATLAB. Deliver
“black box” HDL modules as part of a larger design.
■ Hardware
co-simulation. Create an “FPGA-in-the-loop” simulation
target: a code generation option that allows you to validate
working hardware and accelerate simulations in Simulink and
MATLAB. System Generator supports Ethernet (10/100/Gigabit),
PCI™, Cardbus, and JTAG communication between a hardware
platform and Simulink.
■ Hardware /
software co-design of embedded systems. Build and debug DSP
co-processors for the Xilinx MicroBlaze™ 32-bit RISC processor.
System Generator provides a shared memory abstraction of the
HW/SW interface, automatically generating the DSP co-processor,
the bus interface logic, software drivers, and software
documentation for using the co-processor.

The Platform Cable USB II
provides integrated firmware to deliver high-performance,
reliable and user-friendly configuration of Xilinx FPGAs and
programming of Xilinx PROM and CPLD devices. The Platform Cable
USB II cable optimizes direct programming of third-party SPI
flash memory devices and indirect programming of SPI or parallel
NOR flash memory devices via the FPGA JTAG port. In addition,
Platform Cable USB II is a cost effective tool for debugging
embedded software and firmware when used with Xilinx
applications such as the Embedded Development Kit and ChipScope™
Pro Analyzer |
