XtremeDSP Development Processes and Tools

Xilinx offers DSP development flows and IP tailored to the needs of algorithm, system, and hardware developers

The ISE® Design Suite: DSP Edition supports the XtremeDSP solution by providing a comprehensive design suite at an affordable price that enables The Mathworks widely popular MATLAB® and Simulink® modeling environments to be used for FPGA design.  This DSP design environment can be used early in the design flow to explore hardware solutions for high-level algorithms or to assemble complete DSP systems for production that are highly optimized and include RTL, IP and embedded processing.

The ISE Design Suite: DSP Edition includes both System Generator for DSP and the AccelDSP™ Synthesis Tool that together form the industries most flexible, integrated and powerful DSP development environment for FPGAs.  System Generator and the AccelDSP synthesis tool are also available separately in the Xilinx DSP bundle.
