An innovation tool-chain for synthesis and implementation of Xilinx FPGA devices

Abstract

Synthesis and implementation are two fundamental steps of the hardware design. Mountains of work in this area synthesize and implement your design from Hardware Description Language (HDL) description to the target FPGA device. We present ISE plus Customized P&R, a tool-chain converting Verilog designs into XDL that contains Xilinx FPGA implement modules. A key aspect of this tool-chain is that it both embraces the efficient optimal capacity of synthesizing commercial FPGA Design Suite and the flexible bottom control ability for the implementation of the open-source third-part software. Moreover, this tool-chain can automatically generate customized placement and routing, which provided a feasibility to synthesize and implement asynchronous FPGA designs in bulk without the manual labor.
