IP Deployment Platform Simplifies Development
of System-Level Designs in Actel FPGAs
Introducing SmartDesign, the next generation CoreConsole "design creation" tool
The CoreConsole IP Deployment Platform (IDP) and block stitcher has been developed to enable designers to quickly assemble system-level designs and to simplify the construction of a processor subsystem and assembly of IP blocks within a design. The CoreConsole IDP is a front-end design entry tool that enables IP blocks to be stitched together into synthesizable and simulatable RTL that can be exported into Actel's world-class
Libero IDE FPGA development tool suite. The CoreConsole IDP enables users to focus on the system rather than individual components, allowing them to evaluate system-level performance earlier in the design process and reduce overall development time. The IP cores presently included in CoreConsole can be found on the
DirectCore IP Cores page.
