General Description:
What is SystemLINX?


Solution 1:


SystemLINX is an interface to the Xilinx CORE Generator
software that enables the integration of third party system
level design tools for applications such as DSP.  SystemView
by Elanix is the first system level design tool to be
integrated.  SystemLINX allows the system level design tool to
leverage Xilinx's Smart IP and CORE Generator technology as
part of a highly efficient system design flow.

The CORE Generator software allows designers to generate
high level logic functions based on user specifications. After
specifications are chosen, the CORE Generator software
produces an optimal physical layout using Smart IP technology
and delivers it as a LogiCORE function that can be implemented
in a Xilinx FPGA device.

A typical flow might involve first building a model of a
system in the system level design tool, running simulations,
and adjusting parameter values to see how these affect system
behavior and performance.  The ability to model the system
at a high level helps the designer to quickly determine the
optimal design.

Once the design has been optimized, the designer
can invoke the CORE Generator tool through SystemView, and
automatically pass down core selections and parameters.  The CORE Generator then
 outputs netlists for implementation of the
system modules in Xilinx FPGA devices.
