Synplicity has announced that its new FPGA synthesis solution Synplify Pro, now supports Virtex-5 FXT field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) from Xilinx. In addition, Synplicity has created an automated solution for integrating its Synplify Pro FPGA synthesis solution into the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) so designers can achieve increased productivity and quality of results for their embedded system designs. The Virtex-5 FXT platform comes with up to two PowerPC 440 processor blocks, high-performance DSP and high-speed serial capabilities to deliver a system-integration platform for high-performance applications such as audio/video broadcast, communications, military, aerospace and many others. Software customers targeting Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs can get optimal timing and area results using the Synplify Pro tool because the synthesis algorithms in the product have been developed to take advantage of the 6-input Look Up Tables (LUTs) that characterise the Virtex-5 family. Synplify Pro software support for the Virtex-5 FXT platform is available now.
