Xilinx Alliance Program Overview
Today's marketplace demands integrated world class solutions. The Xilinx Alliance Program assures you of the best available “total solutions” combining Xilinx programmable logic with key technologies from our Alliance Program members, including IP cores, EDA, DSP and embedded development tools, design services, board-level products, integrated circuits, and electronic components.
Since September of 2001, the SignOnce IP License has been the industry's first and only set of common license terms for programmable logic soft IP cores. Xilinx and leading third-party providers have agreed to offer cores to FPGA customers under a common set of terms known as the SignOnce IP License thereby simplifying the process by which customers can access IP from multiple suppliers. This page provides access to example license forms, membership and additional information.
