A2.1i: Using Synopsys Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler to target Virtex-E


Record #7418

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Aldec

Product Part: Foundation HDL Editor

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:
A2.1i: Using Synopsys Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler to target Virtex-E


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Alliance 2.1i contains libraries for the Virtex family, but not Virtex-E.


Solution 1:

Synthesize your design targeting a Virtex component and then retarget the design to the final device when implementing. These architectures are the same internally, there are no problems for using this one library for all three families.

Support for the new LVDS and LVPECL I/O standards will be supported in the next release.
