Foundation Series Evaluation Kit


Description

The Foundation Series Evaluation Kit will allow you to thoroughly evaluate the Foundation Series software on a trial basis. The Evaluation Kit delivers a complete, ready-to-use software solution that supports the full suite of Xilinx devices. It incorporates design entry, synthesis, simulation, and FPGA / CPLD implementation tools into a powerful unified design environment. 

Key features include: 

  • Complete schematic, HDL, and mixed-level design environment
  • Best in class EDA tools
  • High performance results automatically
  • Easy to learn and use
  • Push-button design flows
  • Performance-driven design when you need it

What you get in the Foundation Series Evaluation Kit

The Evaluation Kit delivers a 60-day trial of the Foundation Series software. The evaluation software has been designed so that it does not generate bitstream files, but its design capabilities are equivalent to the commercially available Foundation Express product in every other respect. 

The following CDs come with the Evaluation Kit: 

  • Design Environment CD - This CD contains the Foundation Series software tools, including the design entry, synthesis, simulation, and implementation tools. 
  • Online Documentation CD - This CD contains the Xilinx online documentation suite and the DynaText browser used to view the online books. This CD also contains an interactive tour of the Foundation Software.
  • CORE Generator CD - This CD contains the Xilinx CORE Generator System, an easy-to-use design tool that delivers parameterizable cores optimized for Xilinx FPGAs.
  • Esperan VHDL Tutorial CD - This CD contains an online 

  • VHDL tutorial.
  • ModelSim Evaluation CD - This CD contains a 30-day evaluation of the ModelSim PE simulation product. This product is licensed, sold, and supported by Model 

  • Technology, Inc. 
  • Active-VHDL Evaluation CD -  This CD contains a 30-day evaluation copy of the Active-VHDL simulation product. This product is licensed, sold, and supported by Aldec, Inc.
The Foundation Series Evaluation Kit also contains an ISP Starter Kit, which is a JTAG download cable and a XC9536 CPLD 
demo board. The Starter Kit allows you to do a complete XC9536 CPLD design, including downloading your design onto the Xilinx XC9536 device that is on the demo board. 

The Evaluation Kit is available on PCs running Windows 95 and Windows NT. Evaluation Kits are available through Xilinx Distributors.
