ISE Design Suite: Embedded Edition Benefits
Quickly configure a hardware platform and create a custom software design that includes the appropriate libraries as well as automated generation of device drivers and a complete BSP (Board Support Package). This productive environment saves time by accelerating design steps that would otherwise be manual and error-prone.
Create your own custom-processing platform while reducing your system cost by consolidating external functions into an FPGA. Select the perfect balance of feature and size for your system, and optimize hardware/software design trade-offs for the best price-performance results that meet your exacting requirements.
