Utilities for Alliance Series Software
 

• Solution 4491 A1.5 XSI: Makeucf is a PERL utility that simplifies the creation of timespecs for FPGA Compiler users.

XACT:

Synthesis Library Updates for XACT 5.2.1
 
• Solution 1708 XC4000E Synopsys Libraries: XC4000E -2.db files available for users of XSI 5.2.1 & Synopsys 3.3b and above

 
• Solution 1709 XC3000 Synopsys Libraries: XC3100A -1 and -09.db files available for users of XSI 5.2.1 & Synopsys 3.3b and above

 
• Solution 1455 XSI 5.2.1 .db files for synthesizing 5210-4, 5215-5, and 5215-6

 

 
 
 

Compiled XBLOX/DesignWare and Simulation libraries for XACT 5.2.1
See Solution 1166 for more information on obtaining and installing compiled DesignWare and Simulation libraries for XACT.
 

• XACT 5.2.1/Synopsys 3.5A

Utilities for XACT 5.2.1
 

• Solution 1207 Addtnm and maketnm are PERL script utilities which allow users to add TNMs (Time NaMes) to an .xnf or .xff file so that creating specific timing constraints in a .cst file is much easier.

 
• Solution 1201 XBLOXGEN is a CSH utility which will create XBLOX modules which can be instantiated into you Verilog or VHDL code.
