Developing on the APF FPGA

FPGA Interfaces

Using Armadeus FPGA

Manage the FPGA from Armadeus distribution.

Make some examples

These examples give the basis to make VHDL design for FPGA.



Design Tools

Description of tools used to simulate, to synthesize, and to download/configure FGPA.

Xilinx

Altera

Lattice

Microsemi

Automatize FPGA design making

Peripherals On Demand

For complex projects, POD should be used to simplify design.

FuseSoC

FuseSoC is a builder written in Python used to automatize FPGA constructions

CactusII

Graphical IDE for managing FPGA/ASIC design with IPX-ACT standard.

HDL

VHDL

Verilog
