Xilinx Ecosystem Product Demonstrations

Accelerated Technology, a division of Mentor Graphics Booth #1702

• Nucleus for Xilinx Embedded Development Kit
  Integration of Nucleus with the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit leveraging Xilinx MLD technology. Highlight the complete flow from building FPGA core within Xilinx ISE/EDK to automatically generating Nucleus support package to debugging and downloading the Nucleus RTOS, networking stack, and embedded web server to the target system.

Agilent Technologies Booth #720

• FPGA Dynamic Probe Demo
  Measure new groups of internal FPGA signals in seconds without stopping design, without changing timing, and without changing the design. Automation of the set up of the logic analyzer or oscilloscope will also be shown.

Memec Booth #1835

• MontaVista Linux on the Virtex-4 FX12
  Linux is implemented on the new Virtex -4 FX development board from Memec. From setting up the development environment, creating the LSP, and building the kernel to configuring the FPGA.
  
  
• DSP Applications with the Virtex-4 SX35 Development Board
  Memec Virtex-4 SX35 Development Kit demonstration combines design techniques using the XtremeDSP with the benefits of hardware-co-simulation and the advantages of the Xilinx/MathWorks tool chain.

Mentor Graphics Booth #1702

• Seamless FPGA for Co-Verification Product Demo
  Mentor Graphics' Seamless FPGA delivers co-verification for Xilinx FPGAs with PowerPC processors, combining comprehensive hardware and software debug and analysis within an optimal iteration cycle.
