Aldec and Actel Prototyping: Aldec and Actel have joined together delivering an industry-leading prototyping solution which allows on-the-fly design reprogrammability of flash-based prototypes. This solution offers an Aldec hardware adaptor compatible with RTAX-S with that uses a reprogrammable ProASIC3E or IGLOO chip. In addition, RTAX2A3P EDIF Netlist converter is available, automated pin remapping between RTAX-S design and flash-based architecture.
Top Features
- Allows RTAX-S prototyping with Actel flash devices
- If bugs are found in design, adaptor can be reprogrammed with design.
- The prototype adaptor is footprint compatible with RTAX-S CQ352 or RTAX-S CG624.
- Automated device netlist and pin remapping
Reprogrammable Prototyping Board
The adaptor board maps the footprint of an Actel ProASIC3E or IGLOO chip on the top to the footprint of an Actel RTAX-S device on the bottom. There are two connectors on the top of the adaptor: the power supply and JTAG interface connector for programming the device. After soldering the adaptor onto the PCB, the flash device can be reprogrammed on the fly. Support for other military packages is available upon request. RTAX2A3P EDIF Netlist Converter performs automatic conversion of the RTAX-S EDIF netlist to a flash-based netlist, which means replacement of the primitives has to be done, with consideration of the limitations (differences between RTAX-S and flash-based technologies). A pin remapping utility allows automatic pin remapping, eliminating additional manual work. » Download Datasheet
CoVer_ActelMP7 is a Windows®-based co-verification solution that enables engineers to perform hardware/software verification of Actel CoreMP7-based designs. It provides control and visibility for both the hardware and software engineering teams. The solution addresses hardware and software integration problems and translates into shorter design schedule, a lower project cost, and all-in-one debugging capabilities for ARM-based systems.
CoVer_ActelMP7 integrates Active-HDL simulator with Aldec's hardware board based on Actel FPGA devices. The CoreMP7, memory, and standard peripherals reside in the hardware on the FPGA board. Aldec's patented software/hardware interfacing allows for the simulation and debugging in Active-HDL waveform viewer. The board is connected to the workstation through 32/64-bit to 33/66 MHz PCI slot providing easy use and high performance. » Download Datasheet
