Xilinx DSP Design Flow

Step 1 System-Level Design

• The MathWorks MATLAB & Simulink
• Xilinx System Generator

Step 2 HDL Synthesis - Two tools to choose from

• FPGA Advantage from Mentor Graphics
• Synplify Pro from Synplicity

Step 3 Simulation

• ModelSim from Model Technology found within the Mentor Graphics FPGA advantage tool set
• You may repeat step 3 for simulation with timing values after running Step 4 place and route.

Step 4 Hardware Implementation

• Xilinx Foundation ISE Software
