Software
Product Series Xilinx
Software Solutions are available in two product series,
making it easy for designers to choose the right solution
for their needs. Both support our broad spectrum of
programmable logic families, allowing users to
standardize on a consistent set of design tools and
industry-standard design methodologies.
Design Implementation
Software
Xilinx Software Solutions integrate a powerful
spectrum of design tools and methodologies and offer the
following key features to deliver optimum design results:

Standards-based design interfaces, including
netlist entry and 100% back annotation |
These capabilities enable automatic design
implementation for all Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs. In
addition, powerful auto-interactive tools provide users
with the flexibility to optimize design performance, or
utilization, or manage changes during the design process.

The Foundation Series Software
provides designers with a complete ready-to-use solution
for programmable logic. This fully integrated tool set
allows users to access design entry, synthesis,
implementation, and simulation tools within a powerful
design environment. The Foundation Series features
support for standards-based HDL design, including VHDL
and ABEL. Interactive HDL editing wizards and a
multi-media VHDL tutorial help turn new users into
experts quickly and easily. Foundation Series
configurations are available for PC-compatible platforms
and standard Microsoft operating systems.
