Using a Proven Core

This innovative methodology for using and distributing FPGA cores allows you to customize and integrate Xilinx' LogiCORE PCI products (firm cores with predictable timing) using general purpose VHDL or Verilog entry tools. Because the CORE is configured and downloaded from the WEB, you will always have access to the latest versions of the LogiCORE PCI Interfaces. 

After downloading the core, the design files are instantiated in your HDL design. Functional simulation can be completed with the accompanying HDL simulation model together with the rest of the design. During synthesis, the core is not touched by the synthesizer, because the generated core is already optimized and implemented to ensure timing. The core netlist is then merged with the post-synthesis custom netlist for placement and routing. 

The LogiCORE PCI Interface is available in our PCI Lounges for all LogiCORE PCI customers with a valid support contract. If you are a current LogiCORE PCI Master customer, register today to get access to the lounges. If you have not purchased a LogiCORE PCI product yet, you can run our Demo version for LogiCORE PCI64 Virtex to evaluate available features and options. 

A Java-enabled Web browser is required to run, such as Netscape Navigator version 3.0 or later.
