The MathWorks and Mentor Graphics have collaborated on this flow to assure interoperability. Simulink HDL Coder generates bit-true, cycle-accurate, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from Simulink models, Embedded MATLAB code, and Stateflow charts.
"Simulink HDL Coder and Precision Synthesis provide a rapid path from Simulink models to FPGA implementation," said Ken Karnofsky, director of marketing, Signal Processing and Communications, for MathWorks. "We are pleased to offer a workflow that leverages the capabilities of Mentor's advanced FPGA synthesis products."
"This integrated flow with Simulink HDL Coder and Precision Synthesis benefits our mutual customers," said Daniel Platzker, product line director of FPGA Synthesis at Mentor Graphics Design Creation and Synthesis division. "Both are industry-leading tools that support a vendor-independent design methodology, and this integrated flow significantly shortens the time to market of FPGA designs."
Precision Synthesis: The Centerpiece of Mentor Graphics FPGA Flow
The Precision Synthesis tool is the industry's most comprehensive vendor-independent solution for FPGA design, and it is the only synthesis tool which offers true push button multi-vendor physical synthesis. With comprehensive language support, including SystemVerilog, an advanced ASIC prototyping flow, and automatic incremental synthesis, the Precision Synthesis tool is uniquely suited to handle today's high-end FPGA designs. The Precision Synthesis tool features award-winning design analysis, allowing designers to cross-probe between multiple views and perform interactive static timing "what-if" analyses. The Precision Synthesis tool reduces design iterations and enables faster, more predictable completion of designs, while delivering a high quality of results.
Precision Synthesis is available at a starting price of $20,200 (USD). For additional product information, go to the company website: http://www.mentor.com/fpga, contact a local Mentor Graphics sales office, or call 1-800-547-3000 for specific product and pricing details.
