Simulation configurations, Automatic Compilation, Hierarchical Netlists.
Key Features
- Now supports designs with up to 2M system gates within ISE 10.1i. MXE-III supports simulation for all of Xilinx leading devices, including: Virtex-4, Spartan-3, CoolRunner-II
- Enhanced GUIs give easy access to capabilities and faster debugging
- Seamless integration with ISE delivers better dynamic verification through automated graphical test bench generation
Physical Verification Tool (Chipscope Pro)
Real
Time System debugging and verification tool to view the internal signals inside
the FPGA. ChipScope Pro 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 or near operating system speed and brought out through the
programming interface, freeing up pins for your design. Captured signals can
then be analyzed through the included ChipScope Pro Logic Analyzer. ChipScope
Pro also interfaces with your Agilent bench test equipment through the ATC2
software core. This core synchronizes ChipScope Pro to Agilent's FPGA Dynamic
Probe scope option. This unique partnership between Xilinx and Agilent gives you
deeper trace memory, faster clock speeds, more trigger options, all using fewer
pins on the FPGA.
System Generator For DSP - HDL Converter tool for DSP
High
Performance: DSP Design accelerating tool for speeding up the design &
verification cycle of DSP systems. Allows to target DSP design to Xilinx FPGAs
directly from Mathworks MATLAB/ Simulink environment.
Performance
Easily
build and generate high-performance DSP Systems - Implement ultra high
performance, complex DSP systems (such as 500 MSPS parallel filters) using
Virtex- 4 FPGAs. High-bandwidth hardware co-simulation for accelerating
simulations. The industry's only FPGA hardware-in-the-loop co-simulation
interface now supports burst DMA transfers between Simulink and a hardware
platform, providing simulation speed improvements by factors of hundreds or
thousands. MATLAB-to-RTL capabilities. Embedded system design - Build DSP
co-processors for the Xilinx Micro Blaze processor. The System Generator Micro
Blaze block provides an interface for designing DSP co-processors, compiling
firmware, and system debugging in Simulink using hardware co-simulation.
Mixed-language design - Import HDL modules and co-simulate them using ModelSim.
Import HDL modules directly into your Simulink-based design and co-simulate them
using Model Sim. In- system debugging at system speed.
