The Xilinx Productivity Advantage (XPA) program delivers everything you need to improve your embedded processor design projects in one package, at the best value.
- Education
- Software – ISE™ software and the Embedded Development Kit
- IP Cores – Including UARTs, GPIO, IIC, SPI, OPB and PLB interfaces, 10/100 EMAC and more
- Xilinx Design Services
- Our multifaceted embedded software design team is proficient with current and emerging Xilinx microprocessors, development processes, tools and methodologies. We design custom embedded software and logic systems to your specifications using leading edge Xilinx processor technology and integrate it into your environment. Working closely with your design team, we develop, integrate, and test low level, application or protocol stack embedded software to support FPGA designs, relieve resourcing pressure, help meet time-to-market goals, and improve product differentiation.
- Titanium Technical Service
With this service, we offer a dedicated application engineer, either on-site or at Xilinx, who delivers:
- System architecture optimization – Assist in the selection of the optimal cores and design approach when going from a system level diagram to implementation
- Tool coaching – Jump-start the design process by giving in-depth coaching on the Embedded Development Kit
- Back end optimization – Share our knowledge of the embedded design tool flow and physical implementation in the Xilinx architecture to ensure the highest possible performance
- Design integration – Help integrate the Embedded Development Kit into the ISE software design flow
- Software expertise – Demonstrate the benefits of the Embedded Development Kit, from design to board implementation
