Resources

The design environment and supporting resources are a critical component of the FPGA design environment, as they allow for completing your design quickly and accurately. Xilinx offers the industry's most comprehensive solution, consisting of

Design Software Tools

An integrated suite of software tools providing a seamless start-to-end design flow from design entry to configuration (programming the FPGA). Optional add-on software tools are available for your advanced designs to enable features such as custom floorplanning and unique in-chip verification using ChipScope™ Pro software.

Intellectual Property

Xilinx and its partners offer hundreds of free and for-purchase intellectual property (IP), verified and guaranteed to meet timing parameters, thus speeding up your design cycle and allowing you to focus on the value add components of the design instead of standards conformance.

The Xilinx website has a comprehensive database of Xilinx and third-party verified and tested cores. To find them, visit the Xilinx IP Center .
